Donating Children's Books

I was contacted by David's old H.S. teacher regarding yesterday's posting and she asked if I knew of a place that wanted children's books as they were in the process of holding their annual "Debbie's Legacy" book drive in memory of Debbie Krautwurst. She was David's speech teacher when he was there. Chris said they try to collect mainly children's books. She got me to thinking, so . . . I "Googled" - where can I donate children's books
Rather than me listing all the places, try it, and you'll see that there are tons of places.

What a great service project for any school or organization to do!

I received this email after posting this.

Hi,
I am the Principal of Raritan Valley Academy located in Piscataway, NJ. We are a public receiving school for students with behavioral disabilities. Our website is: http://www.mresc.k12.nj.us/special/index.htm
We don't have a formal library. However, the teachers are trying to collect books for the children to borrow and read, and we have dedicated an empty classroom for that purpose. If people in the area have books to donate for the students, we would LOVE them!! Thank you.

Tia LaPiana, Principal of Raritan Valley Academy

5/2/08 - I received an email from Principal La Piana and she'd like to acknowledge the donation of books to her school from Christine.
Thanks Christine for following through and helping out this school. - Debbie
