We are doing 2 Book Drives in JUNE! We are also splitting our time reading to a local organizations in need of readers!
We decided to support local organizations in their drive for books!
The first drive we are doing is for children's books! PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN'S BOOKS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE! The second book drive is geared to adult books. AGAIN, PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY ADULT BOOKS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE!
We will be gathering from our warm networks of family, friends, faith affiliations, and our community to gather books towards the book drive. We have also decided to split up our time and read to local chapters and organizations in need of that assistance!
1) http://www.booksfirst.org/index.php - this organization is specifically asking for new or gently used children’s books.
2) http://www.bringmeabook.org/home.html - Monetary donations preferred.
3) http://www.vnsabooksale.org/ - they do a yearly book sale where the proceeds benefit 3 specific local charities below.
