HAVE A HEART...DONATE A BOOK!

"A Book is a gift you can open again and again." -Garrison Keillor

Even the youngest child knows that a HEART symbolizes love and that Valentine's Day is about sharing it! This holiday is a perfect chance to help our kids put "love of neighbor" into action!

BookEnds was founded in 1998 by an 8 year-old boy who independently led his school class in a book drive to build a much-needed library at a home for abused children. His simple act of generosity was the inspiration and model for BookEnds, where kids can recycle gently-used children's books to provide under-served children in the greater Los Angeles area the opportunity to read.

If you have books that need a new home - or if your child would like to donate a favorite for a child less fortunate - click here for more information.  Feeling ambitious? Organize a book drive for your church or school through BookEnds.

Are you donating?  I'm sending BOOKENDS two read aloud books that I know will be "loved".  What will you send?
ACORN'S STORY by Valerie Greeley (a favorite!)

WOLVES IN YELLOWSTONE by Randy Houk (A Benefactory Book)  This will be a 2-for-1 donation!  The Humane Society gets proceeds from the sale of this book.

Another Giving Company:  BETTER WORLD BOOKS ("the Online Bookstore With a Soul") - when you buy your books from them, look who you help!
