| BookEnds and the United Talent Agency Foundation | |
|
 BookEnds was able to donate 100 books to the kids of Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) through a partnership with United Talent Agency's Foundation. The UTA Foundation hosted a Valentine's Day themed event at the HOLA campus on February 12, 2011 where 100 kids created Valentine's Day crowns, made bracelets, and decorated Valentine's and bookmarks. At the end of the carnival every kid was given a BookEnds book to take home with them. It was a wonderful day for all participants.

What is BookEnds? | |
|
BookEnds is a non profit organization about Kids helping Kids for Literacy and Leadership. BookEnds is built upon our belief in children. We believe that every child has a right to be surrounded by books throughout their childhood to inspire, enthrall and excite them. We also believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn to help.
Annually, nearly 20,000 students organize BookEnds book drives in their schools to recycle their quality children's books directly into the hands of kids in schools and youth organizations that are in desperate need of books. At BookEnds, we build the next generation of readers and leaders. Contact us!
