Books for Keeps is, at its core, a grassroots effort to just get books in the hands of kids in need.
In the earliest days, our website (really, just a Blogspot blog) was a lifeline for Melaney, the Books for Keeps founder. She used it to broadcast everything from book shortages to leaky roof crises to the news that BFK, at long last, has a staff person.
But the old website had, for some time, been insufficient for our growing organization. So, we are saying hello to our old Blogspot blog and hello to our new website.
We’re pretty excited.
Our new online home will give us a better online “face” to the wider world. For an organization that no longer subsists purely on volunteer workers, second-hand books, and word of mouth, that’s pretty important.
In 2014 we will be in nine elementary schools – NINE! We’re growing up, and we hope you’ll continue to follow the story at our new online home.
All entries on the old Blogspot site have been moved over to a new blog at our new website. We will continue to use that new blog to share news, broadcast needs, and acknowledge the folks who make Books for Keeps strong. And, of course, we'll continue to share news and updates here at the Patch!
