TONGANOXIE, Kan. (AP) - Two northeast Kansas teenagers have helped round up thousands of books for a Missouri hospital where both have been treated for serious illnesses.

The Tonganoxie High School seniors led a book drive earlier this year for Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.

Their campaign brought in about 4,800 volumes, along with more than $1,100 to buy e-readers and electronic books.
