Our District 7390 Early Literacy Book Drive is underway, and we have a big goal ahead of us: 1,700 books by November 22! We've collected our first 50 books, which means we have 1,650 to go! Why 1,700? At the conclusion of the drive, the books will be distributed to seven early learning centers across our seven-county District. This will provide nearly 250 new books per location to help replenish center and classroom libraries and put more books into the hands of young children and their educators. Three Ways YOU Can Help Collect Books as a Club - Collect new board books and picture books at one or several club meetings. When you're ready, contact me to schedule a pickup. Partner with a Local Bookstore - Take the book drive into your community! Shared the attached flyer with a local bookstore and ask them to place a collection box near the register, giving customers the opportunity to purchase and donate a children's book at checkout. Shop the Amazon Registry - Not sure what to get? Don't have time to shop? Select a book from our Amazon Registry and it will be delivered directly to me and added to the District collection. Every book gets us one step closer to reaching - and exceeding our goal!
