Book Drive Month is officially here!
To truly have a successful Book Drive Month, we need additional hosts and locations for book drives!
Can you help, or do you know someone who can? It’s a fun, easy way to help Books for Keeps!
Hosting a book drive can be as simple as placing a box in your garage or the lobby of your workplace, then emailing folks to let them know it’s there. You’ll help us reach people we’ve never reached before, and it’s a fantastic way for people to clean off their bookshelves.
If you, your business, your church, or a civic group you belong to would like to host a book drive, please email Leslie Hale, leslie.hale@booksforkeeps.org.
