Collect Books For Us

Collected books are used to encourage children to read. 

 

We build school libraries with them. During the Read-a-thon hundreds of children take out books from our libraries and improve their literacy skills. Each participant in our Read-a-thon receives a book  and the school which read the most books wins a stack of books for their own English Library.

 

  • Ask your party guests to bring a gently used children's book along. Ask them to donate a dollar a book to cover shipping costs. 

 

  • Do a book drive. Set up a basket at schools or synagogues for a few weeks. Collect the books when you are done.
