Book Drive Challenge

Join The Birmingham Reads Book Drive Challenge!
Who can collect the most books in one week? Maybe your school can! Join the Birmingham Reads Book Drive Challenge and enter into a little friendly competition with some of your neighboring schools. It's fun and easy to be a part if you follow these steps:

Call or email Beth Wilder at bwilder@literacy-council.org / 205-326-1925 and let her know you want to participate. She will send you a Birmingham Reads Book Drive Handbook to help you get started and can answer any questions you might have about the event.

Organize a committee at your school to plan the book drive.

Mark April 9, 2012 on your calendar because that's when the book drive begins!

Collect new and gently used children's books that will be donated to Better Basics and distributed to area school children who do not have access to books in the home. You can also collect dollars! One dollar equals one book in the overall count. The money will be used to purchase books for the school children who need them most.

Mark April 21, 2012 on your calendar because that's when the Birmingham Reads Celebration event takes place at Brookwood Village and the Book Drive Challenge winners are announced.
