Botswana Book Drive

As we approach our final book drive of the season, we aim to reach a goal of 5,000 donations as well as collecting funds to send this shipment of written works all the way to schools in Botswana!

A few reminders and suggestions we HIGHLY RECCOMEND:

• We only accept new and gently used books (preferably paperback, but we accept hardcover as well)
• During this drive we are looking to collect books that rank in the 2nd - 8th grade reading level

Topics in books we love to collect include:

• Childrens fiction with broad, universal themes 
• Childrens non fiction (ie. reference materials, dictionaries, scientific books)
• Childrens books teaching life skills (physical & mental health, careers, hygiene etc.)
• Childrens books with diverse characters

And things in books we typically try to avoid:

• heavily focused government themed topic
• small dense print which can seem intimidating for younger readers
• language with a lot of slang which might be hard for English learners to follow
• written in any language that isn't english 
• topic surrounding North American holidays/religious holidays
• magazines
