Clear to Read

How many books do you have laying around or piled up in your book shelves that you will never read? Or ones that you tell yourself you keep because you will read them again? And how many children’s books are in your home that have not been touched in years? Or school books/workbooks taking up valuable storage space?

With 12 million children, most in low-income families. lacking books at home, there is a great need for donations. Your donations. Access to books is the key to literacy. You can provide that key.

Go through your bookshelves, cupboards, boxes in the garage. Stop saving them “for a good reason” and start donating them to impact the lives of millions of children and adults. Call around to your local library, schools, or children’s organizations to see if they will accept donations. Clearing some space in your home can ignite the imagination of a child.
