Hold a Book Drive to raise awareness about the impact of book poverty on children’s lives whilst directly supporting your local community. Invite employees to bring in books that their children have grown out of or to purchase and donate a favourite book from their own childhood.
After the book drive, please sort and box your collected books and if possible deliver them to one of our Book HQs in London, Birmingham or Leeds. We really appreciate your help with this. If you’re not near any of our HQs, you may prefer to deliver your books to one of our registered recipient organisations via our map.
For donations over 500 books please get in touch and we can help ensure your donation is directed in the most effective way.
How to run your book drive
- Register your Book Drive so that we can support and celebrate you.
- Pick a date (up to a week is often ideal)
- Promote your event using our videos, posters and other materials
- Set your community a challenge e.g. to collect 500 children’s books
- Count, sort and celebrate the books donated!
