Hindi's Libraries Seeks Students To Lead Holiday Book Drives

HEWLETT, NY — Hewlett-based Hindi's Libraries is seeking students to help organize book drives this holiday season for less fortunate children.

Students leading book drives with 20 or more donation boxes through Nov. 22 will receive video recognition on the Hindi's Libraries website.

"There’s nothing I love more than watching children and teens take a hold of the reins and spearhead initiatives like this one. Their passion and motivation is inspiring!" Leslie Gang, co-founder of Hindi's Libraries, said. "I am so excited to work with students across the country to help give the gift of literacy this holiday season."

Donations may be mailed or delivered to 286 Willard Dr. in Hewlett. They accept new and gently used children's and young adult books. Students, from kindergarten to 12th grade, looking to organize a book drive can contact Leslie Gang at leslie@hindislibraries.com for more information.

Hindi's Libraries is partnering with California-based children’s author Lisa Caprelli, creator of Unicorn Jazz, to collect books for distribution to various organizations, including the Aaron Community Cultural Center in Los Angeles and Grangou, an orphanage in Haiti.
