Law-Lib,
The Social Responsibilities SIS and AALL continue the tradition of giving
something back to the community that hosts our Annual Meeting with our tenth
annual Children’s Book Drive -- "A Book for Every Child".
SR-SIS has selected the Willamette Writers Books for Kids program as the
recipient of the 2008 AALL Children’s Book Drive.
This book donation program distributes over 23,000 books annually to
underprivileged children and teenagers served by over 50 organizations
throughout the Portland area, Oregon state, and SW Washington state. The
recipient agencies give the books to the children. Hospitals, shelters,
literacy programs, alternative schools for homeless youth, and reading mentor
programs are involved in the Books for Kids program. More information is
available at http://www.willamettewriters.com/1/books-for-kids.php.
Donating books is easy!
Use the online AALL Book Drive 2008 Wish List at Powell’s Books online
(Powell’s Books is based in Portland). The list includes award-winning
children’s titles and works requested by the Books for Kids program. The Wish
List is available via this link (http://tinyurl.com/2hvv2c) or by searching the
Powell’s Wish List page, https://www.powells.com/wish_list, with the email:
courtney-selby@utulsa.edu. You can also donate a “gift card” from Powell’s
Books, http://www.powells.com/powellscard.html.
All books, gift cards, and monetary donations (checks made out to “AALL”)
should be sent to AALL Book Drive team member, Jorge Juarez. His address is
