The Book Drive Continues

March 2nd, 2010 | Author: Tricia

Only a couple more weeks left in our annual book drive with Wright to Read and we still have a lot of work to do! The goal is 1200 summer reading packs for Alexandria children. There are several ways to help:

GATHER BOOKS FOR THE BOOK DRIVE
Donate new or used gift-quality books appropriate for K through 6th grades, purchase books at Hooray for Books (15% discount when you mention “summer reading packs”) and let them store and deliver them for you, or purchase books from your favorite retailer. Find out more about donating books.

COME TO BASKETS FOR BOOKS TO RAISE MONEY

Join Giving Circle Members and their families on Saturday March 6 for a morning of fun shooting hoops and other basketball games to raise money for the book drive. Wright to Read will use these funds to purchase books for the Book Drive. Because Wright to Read can purchase books at a deep discount, financial contributions are especially important. Find out more about this event or hosting your own.

PACK AND SORT BOOKS:

Join us Sunday, March 14, 2010 from 1-4 p.m. at Wright to Read to pack and sort the books into the summer reading packs. Wright to Read is located at 414 N. Washington Street, Suite 101.

BE A BOOK BACKER:

When you sponsor a book for an entire grade, Wright to Read purchases 150 copies of that book to be included in the Summer Reading Packs. Check out the details and donation levels.
