Books, Books, and more Books!

Katie O'Looney, Supervising Teacher at Wright Elementary

This month, CalSERVES was fortunate enough to receive over 1,600 books from BORDERS Bookstore customers.




One of the managers at BORDERS heard about our programs and decided to set up a book drive all throughout the month of December. He had his employees ask each customer if they wanted to donate books to CalSERVES and made an announcement every 30 minutes asking customers to donate books. Since then, we've received so many books, we divided them all up amongst our 6 other school sites in Southwest Santa Rosa.




Our children are extremely fortunate to have so many NEW books to choose from on our bookshelves, rather than having some books held together by masking tape and staples. THANK YOU BORDERS! We're extremely thankful for all of the generous people who donated books during the holiday season!
