Have you ever thought about how you could make a change in the world and have a huge impact at the same time? Heres an idea! Run a book drive. Book drives can benefit not only your local community but the global community as well.
Many people dont have books that reside within your own city and even within your own neighborhood! The following individuals and programs can benefit from a book drive:
People: There are many families who cannot afford to buy books for their children. Children can have the opportunity to read or have books in their own homes by means of a book drive that provides them with the books they need.
Educational Institutions: With the down turn in the global economy teachers budgets have been diminished. Students reading needs go unfilled largely because of the lack of funds available for additional books. A book drive can provide valuable unwanted and unused books for educational and training purposes.
Correctional Facilities: Book drives can offer needed books for learning centers with Adult literacy programs. Education and entertainment is just a couple of ways these programs can benefit from books contributed by a book drive.
Recycling: An effective way to improve and care for the environment is to recycle damaged and obsolete books. If you receive damaged or obsolete books during a book drive its ok go ahead and recycle it. Books that were once on their way to the landfill can now be turned into paper!
Global Programs: The global population is growing and many developing countries throughout the world are in need of educational materials. The demand for books written in other languages is on the rise.
Municipal or University Libraries: Civil war and fighting in many countries have left entire libraries empty. These libraries need to be filled after warlords propaganda cleansing.
A book drive can help your community locally and internationally in three basic steps. They are:
Plan " a book drive in your community or school.
Execute " assemble volunteers and set up collection points.
Evaluate " count the books collected and assess your success!
When you follow these three simple steps you will see how a book drive can reduce unwanted or unused books that would probably go to the landfill. You will also see how these books will be reused by providing education and or entertainment for someone less fortunate.
With the extra books that have been sitting on your bookshelf, desk, table or wherever you keep your books you can see how a simple evaluation of your stock pile can benefit your local and international community rather than collect dust. With a donation of your unused and unwanted books you can increase a childs desire to read, provide books for schools with low budgets, assist Correctional institutions and Public learning centers in providing education and entertainment materials, empower rural and global communities with needed literary skills. As mentioned these are some ways you can change your community locally and internationally through a book drive.
