Real Estate Group Plans Book Drive

A real estate group will host a Children’s book drive this month to support Bernie’s Book Bank, which provides books to low-income families.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group in Lake Forest will host the drive from June 6-13 at their office at 778 N. Western Ave. in Lake Forest, according to a community post on the Lake Forester.

“This event has really made us think about the importance of books in our lives and the impact they have,” said Mark Pasquesi, Vice President and Managing Broker of the Lake Forest office. “Think about your favorite book when you were a child, or if you have kids, think of your child’s favorite book. We hope you’ll consider sharing that book with a child who is less fortunate.”

Gently used and new books for children birth through 6th grade are welcome.

Additionally, more than 80 of the company’s realtors staff will collect and sort books for Bernie’s Book Bank during the KoenigRubloff Cares Foundation company-wide Week of Kindness.
