Barnes & Noble Customers Give the Gift Of Reading To Children In Need Through Annual Holiday Book Drive
Barnes & Noble stores across the country, including the five stores in Palm Beach County, are enticing their customers to give the gift of reading to children in need during its annual Holiday Book Drive, taking place from November 1, 2012 to December 24, 2012.
The Barnes & Noble Holiday Book Drive provides an opportunity for customers to donate books for at risk schools in Palm Beach County through local stores.
Barnes & Noble officials have worked closely with district staff to identify the schools where the books are needed the most.
Holiday Book Drive recipients throughout the country include schools, libraries, literacy organizations, family social service agencies and homeless centers. This year,Barnes & Noble stores in Palm Beach County, will be collecting books for The School District of Palm Beach County.
“The Holiday Book Drive is one of our most popular community partnerships,” says Sarah DiFrancesco, director of community relations for Barnes & Noble. “Our booksellers and customers get to share the pure joy of giving a book to a child in need. And because each Barnes & Noble store chooses its local non-profit beneficiary, the donations are very personal.”
