AALL book drive for Portland kids (Public Version)
The Social Responsibilities Special Interest Section (SR-SIS) of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) continues its tradition of giving something back to the community that hosts our Annual Meeting with its tenth annual Children’s Book Drive -- "A Book for Every Child".
SR-SIS has selected the Willamette Writers Books for Kids program as the recipient of the 2008 AALL Children’s Book Drive.
This book donation program distributes over 23,000 books annually to underprivileged children and teenagers served by over 50 organizations throughout the Portland area, Oregon state, and SW Washington state. The recipient agencies give the books to the children. Hospitals, shelters, literacy programs, alternative schools for homeless youth, and reading mentor programs are involved in the Books for Kids program. More information is available at http://www.willamettewriters.com/1/books-for-kids.php.
Donating books is easy!
Use the online AALL Book Drive 2008 Wish List at Powell’s Books online (Powell’s Books is based in Portland). The list includes award-winning children’s titles and works requested by the Books for Kids program. The Wish List is available at http://tinyurl.com/2hvv2c. You can also donate a “gift card” from Powell’s Books, http://www.powells.com/powellscard.html.
