For the third year in a row, I am delighted to partner with Bernie's Book Bank to help them acquire the kinds of books they most need for the at-risk children they serve in the Chicago area. Thanks to the Literacy for a Lifetime grant-matching program offered by Usborne Books & More, all donations will be matched at 50%, so we can purchase even more high-quality titles to be distributed to children in the coming months!
While Bernie's Book Bank receives book donations from various sources throughout the year, they are unable to select exactly what they are going to get, which leaves them with certain voids that need to be filled in order to provide the variety of titles, at the appropriate reading level, to the at-risk children they serve. This year, they are most in need of NON-FICTION TITLES for elementary-aged children, as well as titles that represent cultural diversity--both of which we can provide with our amazing catalog of Usborne and Kane Miller titles. Donations also drop considerably over the summer, so it's especially important that we help them this time of the year.
Please consider contributing to this year's fundraiser; donations of any amount are welcome and very much appreciated. Our goal is to raise $2000 by July 26. Also, please share this fundraising link with any individuals or businesses you feel would want to support this important cause as well.
Thanks so much!
