Students at one southern Nevada middle school received hundreds of new books thanks to a donation by four organizations.

The students of R.O. Gibson Middle School got 1,500 textbooks Monday through the combined efforts of the Las Vegas Latin Chamber of Commerce, Another Joy Foundation, the Clark County School District and the Public Education Foundation. The textbooks are in both English and Spanish. They cover math, science, reading and writing.

The donation is part of a larger commitment from all the organizations involved. It is called LinkedUp for Learning. When the project kicked off in February, The Latin Chamber and Another Joy together donated 162,000 textbooks with a retail value of $6.8 million to students and teachers in southern Nevada. The groups have distributed books to at least 25 schools in the district.

A clinic that offers free health care is looking for more volunteers to help fill the growing need in the Las Vegas valley.

Community Care Clinic has two locations, one near Summerlin and the other downtown. It is looking for six additional doctors along with nurses, medical office personnel and a social worker. Organizers want to expand office hours and accommodate more people in need.

Right now, one clinic is only open the first and third Friday of each month for just two and a half hours. The second clinic is open on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The medical professionals would only have to donate as little as three hours of their time per month.

Everything from chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure to immediate health issues like cancer are treated at the clinics. The clinics have also worked out partnerships with laboratories and pharmacies to provide free and low-cost lab work and prescriptions.
