Conduct A Book Drive

Share your love of reading, while giving back to the community. This is a great project for families, including families with young children!

Run a book drive for Access Books Bay Area by collecting books and donations from relatives, classmates, neighbors, and community members. By doing so, you will contribute to Access Books Bay Area’s mission to bring engaging, high interest books to children who need them most. Students in the communities we serve do not have good access to new and inviting books, especially as compared to their peers in more affluent communities.

Staff at Access Books Bay Area will guide you through the process. This is a great project for families. An adult or teen is needed to supervise, but there is lots of opportunity for children to be very active in this project.

Volunteers will:

• Create materials to announce and advertise their book drive to family, friends, neighbors, community members, etc.
• Share these materials by posting to online or offline communities you are part of.
• Collect the books and monetary donations over a period of a few weeks (this is your ‘Book Drive’).
• Deliver the books you have collected to our facility in Palo Alto.
