The good news is that we have had over 600 books already donated and in circulation (and we haven’t even put our awesome re-purposed BREW boxes out in the community yet!) 

The bad newsis that we need about 200-300 more books in inventory in the next week or so tofill the Brew boxes before placing them out in the community.   EMPLOYERS – if your company is willing tosend a memo around asking for a used children’s books to be donated in thelobby for Teachers in the Parks Book Share, we would greatly appreciateit!  You can call Heather Brady when youhave a box ready to pick up at 484-336-3299 or send her an email: heather@doitlocalfundraising.com.

Thank youall for your love and support!  Don’tforget to join our Berks County Readers Book Share Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/BerksCountyReaders

All thishard work and collaboration from some amazing community members and sponsors isworth it when you see these smiles on the kids! 😊

1-800 Got Junk local owner Nathan is helping us when the time comes to set up our boxes around town again at no charge in his free time!  This is amazing since the boxes are heavy and way too big to throw in the back our car.  If you are looking to clear out some junk in preparation for Back to School – give 1800 Got Junk a call and tell them that Nathan in Berks County PA is the best!
