Jake Gibbs, former 3rd District Council member and long-time Co-op owner, loved many things in life but books were always at the top of the list. His career teaching history and logic at Bluegrass Community College and the completion of the 722-page Little Blue Book bibliography were devoted to helping people learn and think critically. This book drive has been organized by his family to carry on his legacy.
