Gently Used Books Needed

Middle School
Do your children have two or three (or 100) books that they have outgrown and do not read anymore? Would they be willing to donate those books to children less fortunate?


For his Bar Mitzvah community service project Lane Lubell, Middle School seventh-grader, is collecting gently used books to donate to abused and neglected children who need to appear at Juvenile Court. The waiting room of each child protection courtroom has a bookcase for donated books. While the children are waiting, they are encouraged to read the books and take one home. Currently the bookcases are empty. There are approximately 12,000 abused and neglected children. There is a book drop-off location at The Catherine Cook School located in the Lower Level Lunchroom. Please drop your donated books and Lane will get them to the children. Thank you for your donation.
