Repair Children's Books for Local Students (age 10+) *Impact Week 2022*
We receive donations of new and gently used books at our warehouse location all year. These donations come from home libraries, book drives, and other sources in our community. The Children’s Book Bank organizes hundreds of volunteers to prepare these donated books for their new homes by erasing scribbles/ inscriptions, wiping covers, and taping torn pages, coloring wear and tear, etc. We want to make sure that each kid gets a book that feels as new as possible to them so they have a book they are proud to put on their shelf!
Volunteers will receive a 15 minute orientation on how to help repair books and bundle books for our Building Home Library program. Once you’ve learned about that we help restore donated books to "gift" quality for local students. No previous experience is needed in order to volunteer! This is a great project for anyone looking for an easy way to make a big impact!
Please wear a mask, have proof of you COVID-19 vaccination, wear closed-toed shoes.
Free street parking all around and a small parking lot out front. You are welcome to bring your bike into the warehouse to store. Accessible by the Streetcar, Bus #6, #17, #70
