Pingback by Helping Bring Books Where They've Never Been Before « Camel Book Drive | April 12, 2007 |
my daughter wrote previously and was interested in collecting some of the Chronicles of Narnia books from her class at the end of the year. she is interested in knowing if a school-wide drive would be appreciated, as the school she attends is from pre-K to high school. I see that text books are not needed, but at each level there are reading books that the children have outgrown. If that would be helpful please let me know. I am involved in the Kiwanis Club of Fort Lauderdale and we are looking for a new international project. Kiwanis is the sponsor of the K-clubs in local high schools, who could be recruited to sponsor book drives in their local schools as well. Please let me know if this is the type of books you would be looking for, or if you are more geared to the purchase of new books for this cause. thank you, gloria jacaruso
