2024 Children's Book Drive
In Conjunction with NCADA Fall Seminar
We are holding our annual Children's Book Drive again in conjunction with our Fall Seminar. This tradition was started by our Young Lawyers Committee in 2006 as a public service project and we have donated hundreds of books to children to enhance literacy in North Carolina.
Please join us as we again collect new or gently used children's books--infant through young adult. All books collected will benefit charity or library in an underserved area. This is a great way to give back out our community while also promoting children's literacy and a love of reading!
Whether you have a collection of books your kids have outgrown, or prefer to purchase brand new books, we welcome all contributions! The only books we are unable to re-home are those that are musty or damaged. We are also unable to accept magazines, coloring books, encyclopedias, textbooks, former library books, classroom sets, or books for adults. For those who prefer, financial contributions are also accepted and most appreciated (see donation box below)!
To help you get started, here are two Book Lists compiled by librarians: Beyond the Single Story list and 100 Picture Books for Core Collection.
Please bring your donations with you to the Fall Seminar on Friday, October 6th, in Greensboro at the Grandover Resort. We will collect at the registration area.
For financial donations please make a check payable to NCADA Children's Book Drive and bring it with you on September 27th. Or, place an online order and have it mailed to us at NCADA, 4441-106 Six Forks Road #107, Raleigh, NC 27609. All book and the financial donation will be delivered following the Fall Seminar. You can also donate below!
