The Los Angeles Lakers planned to hold a drive for new children's books at Sunday's game in connection with their annual Chick Hearn Night.
Books were scheduled to be collected from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. outside the Star Plaza entrance of Staples Center. Fans, who donate a new children's book, will receive an official 2009-2010 Lakers pin.
All books will be donated in Hearn's memory to Everybody Wins!
Everybody Wins! is a Los Angeles-based organization that aims to increase children's prospects for success in school and in life through one-on-one reading experiences with caring adults or older students.
