I love books. I have them in every room in the house. However, I get the feeling that someone is feeding them after midnight, because they are beginning to multiply like Gremlins! I believe that the time has come to take a deep breath and share my book wealth with those in need. My first call to action was asking other book lovers where they like to donate new or used books. Here are the top responses:
- Hospitals
- Children’s Hospitals
- Libraries
- Literacy Foundations and Organizations
- Government Schools
- Charity Organizations
- Homeless Shelters
- Foster Care Organizations
This is a great start! Now let’s get specific. If your charity, organization, library, school, or shelter collects donations in the form of books, please share your information in the comments field below. Then e-mail me via our contact page and I’ll put together a special holiday donation feature.
Special thanks to the following Twitter friends for their input: @mellierosey, @linkstoliteracy, @literacylaunch, @JensBookPage, @blurtit, @sylviahubbard1, and @BookBlade.
