Whitman County Rural Library district branches in Colton and Uniontown will be having a pet care drive through August as a follow-up to its summer reading program. All supplies collected will be donated to the Whitman County Humane Society.
Both library branches will make dog and cat blankets at 6 p.m. today at the Uniontown library, 110 S. Montgomery St., in Uniontown. The Colton library will make blankets at 6 p.m. Thursday at 706 Broadway St. in Colton. All blankets will be donated to the humane society.
