Book Share October Update

It's official thanks to amazing local sponsors, we have set up our first 5 Book Share Boxes around Berks County! Children of all ages will find free books in our re-purposed "Berks Real Estate Weekly" boxes at:

• Sweet Ride Ice Cream in West Reading

  • Thanks to Katie Broskey, Realtor - Keller Williams

  • The Works Complex in Wyomissing

    • Thanks to Erica Fair, Realtor - United Real Estate

    • Grove Dental on State Hill Rd, Wyomissing

      • Thanks to Pagoda Realty

      • Hay Creek Snack Shack in Birdsboro

        • Thanks to Erica Fair, Realtor - United Real Estate

        • Exeter Family Restaurant in Exeter

          • Thanks to Erica Fair, Realtor - United Real Estate

We have had over a thousand books donated and some of them are brand new! Our community is truly amazing, and we are so excited to create yet another convenient outlet for our children to pick up books to keep reading!

When you visit our Book Share locations, please take a second to read the quotes from local young readers! They are truly adorable and remind us how reading opens our imagination to not only explore but also to seek the beauty in our every day lives.

Our next round of Book Share Boxes is tentatively scheduled to be delivered the week of November 4th to:

• Weaver's Orchard in Mohnton (off Rt 10)

  • Thanks to Susan McFadden, Realtor

  • Sunny's Car Wash in Kenhorst (off Rt 625)

    • Thanks to Riverfront Credit Union

    • Auntie Anne's Pretzels in Morgantown (Elverson) inside the Walmart

      • Thanks to Jodie Geary, Realtor

      • Island Pizza in Douglasville (off Rt 422)

        • Thanks to Jodie Geary, Realtor

This project would not have been possible without the love & support from Redner's, Knies Insurance, Grove Dental Group, Homecare Solution, 1800-Got Junk, Goodlife Financial, Empire Surplus Home Center, SAH Security, and of course the Reading-Berks Realtors Association!

We are currently seeking additional location sponsors and we have 15 locations who have requested a box! Please contact me (Heather Brady) if you are interested in sponsoring a location or if you would like to be added to the list of potential locations for our remaining boxes!

Now when you are waiting in line for your favorite ice cream, or waiting for your check after a delicious meal, or waiting for the dentist.... pick up a Free Book with your child!

Happy Reading! Heather Bradyheather@doitlocalfundraising.com
