Spring 2024 Book Drive
Our 2024 BookWORM Spring Drive will run from March 18 through April 30, 2024.
While we collect new and gently used books for children of all ages, our greatest need is for books for third grade and younger, as well as bilingual and board books. We do not collect: adult books, religious books, encyclopedias, cook books, self-help books, romance novels, textbooks, or used coloring books.
We have 4 easy ways for you to donate your new or gently used children’s books:
Option 1: Drop off new or gently used children’s books at a collection bin around town. We have partnered with businesses in the Winston-Salem area to have collection bins easily accessible for you to drop off books during the drive. The following locations will have bins:
- CycleBar Winston-Salem
- Footnote Coffee and Cocktails
- Kim Taylor & Company
- Pure Barre (Reynolda Village and Stratford Rd. Locations)
Option 2: Drop off new or gently used children’s books at one of our spring events.
- JLWS March GMM on March 18, 2024
JLWS members can bring donations to our next General Membership Meeting.
- JLWS Tour of Fine Spaces on April 20, 2024 from 10am-4pm
There will be a book collection bin at a stop along the tour to collect donations from JLWS members and the general public. The 17th Annual Tour of Fine Spaces features new and renovated homes throughout the Triad, including everything from contemporary to traditional designs. Reserve your ticket here!
Option 3: Buy books online through wish lists set up by Bookmarks bookstore
Visit the link below to shop locally for books that our community partners have requested. If you shop directly from these wish lists, you do not need to pick up or ship your items – Bookmarks will handle this! You can add the community partner name and “JLWS BookWORM donation” to the comments at checkout to be sure your order is completed correctly.
If you have any questions about using the Bookmarks website, please contact Bookmarks at info@bookmarksnc.org.
