William’s Summer Book Drive

September 16, 2013 by Sandra

So what did you do with your summer? One young man who helped us sort books in the spring felt called to do more – and we are so grateful! William spearheaded a book drive in his neighborhood, going door-to-door, making his neighbors aware of our cause and his desire to help, resulting in a donation of 170 books! Well done, William, and thank you very much!

As we reflect on 2022, the word that comes to mind As we reflect on 2022, the word that comes to mind is “grateful”. 

We are grateful for a community that donates their books to new owners and volunteers their time to help us operate. We’re grateful for the school staff and community partners we work alongside to get our books in the arms of kids who otherwise would have nothing fun and age-appropriate to read at home.

If you feel led to give the gift of book ownership this season, please visit this link: https://www.booksbetweenkids.org/give-money/
