Bibliotheke members have chosen to support the efforts of book drives for libraries.
Do you have a library in your area?  Get involved. Donate your used books!  Help educate everyone by keeping our public libraries full of books, while keeping the costs down.

Here are some tips on how to organize a successful book drive in your area:

• Get the word out!  Newspapers, radio and TV will give free space and air time for community announcements.  Remember they often need two weeks advance notice before printing or media so that it can be fit in their schedules.  Be sure to check with the media in your area well in advance for how to apply for such services. 
• Utilize the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to sort and organize the books donated as a service project. 
• Have the bookdrive last at least one week. 
• Have flyers passed out in the schools. 
• Talk to the library; find out what kind of books they most need (reference, novels, computer, etc).  What don't they want?  Be sure that information is well distributed on all the advertising.

If you have any more tips on how to organize a successful bookdrive, please send them and we'll add them to our list.
