Book Drive

We are partnering with Planting People Growing Justice to host a book drive at this year’s book fair!

WISHLIST

Our wishlist is linked here with carefully chosen books to benefit the youth they serve. The books focus on leadership development, career exploration, and cultural appreciation.

DETAILS

Join us in promoting literacy and diversity in books by donating to our book drive! Collection bins will be available onsite the day of the book fair. Bring books from the wishlist with you when you arrive, purchase books from our vendors to donate while you enjoy the event, or participate virtually!

WHY BOOK DRIVES MATTER

Book drives help provide books to children so they can have the opportunity read and develop language and vocabulary skills. Help us and Planting People Growing Justice plant seeds of social change through literacy, which is a key determinant of academic, social, and economic success. Images from last year's event can be found below.

Additional Details

COVID Precautions: As the majority of the event will be taking place outside with all doors to the pavilion remaining open for maximum airflow, masks are highly recommended when inside the building.
ASL Interpreters will be present for the staged events.
