This re-purpose project of the old Real Estate Weekly Boxes into Children's Book Share Boxes 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, Body Zone, Wingswept Acres, New Castle Lawn and Landscape, Ben Ireland, and of course the Reading-Berks Realtors Association!
Families in Berks County - ENJOY! And join our private Facebook Group to stay up to date if new locations are added and participate in fun giveaways for your kids! https://www.facebook.com/groups/BerksCountyReaders/
Last but not least, a big thank you to all of the amazing families who graciously went through their children’s book collection to donate books that they have outgrown. (Giving these books a new life and allowing them to put smiles on the faces of families across Berks!)
We plan to restock all of the Book Share boxes this month. If you happen to visit a Book Share Box that needs immediate restocking, please send an email to heather@doitlocalberks.com
We are ALWAYS in need of book donations to keep these boxes full. You can donate books directly into boxes! (See list above for locations to find the one closest to you!) The Shillington Farmers Market, The Works, Sweet Ride, and the Imax Theatre tend to run out often - so anytime you can pop some books in those we greatly appreciate it!
*Plus you are welcomed to bring donated books to the Gourmand Food Truck during the Mohnton Community Yard Sale this Saturday - June 12th. Click HERE for details.
Don’t forget to follow our Facebook Page to stay up to date with fundraisers, new Book Share Locations, new stock box alerts, and of course locations that need book donations.
