Fall Round Up

 Moms night out
We had a great time at the ultra pampering event that was "Mom's Night Out" at the W Hotel in Westwood.  Thank you Eventbrite, Plum District Savvy Sassy Moms for designating BookEnds as your charity of choice.
 
Gretchen & OneUnited
We also enjoyed meeting the Compton community at OneUnited Bank's book drive and book giveaway on Saturday October 8th.  Our appreciation goes to the OneCommunity at OneUnited Bank.

 

Once again, the fantastic people at The Thrilling Adventure Hour are donating the proceeds of their December 3rd show to BookEnds.  Don't miss this really special, funny, entertaining event at Largo at the Coronet.

BookEnds New Blog
We have launched an entertaining and informative  blog featuring commentaries by staff, board members, volunteers and guest bloggers. Our current post is "What's missing?  Part One." by Board member, Kait Hilliard.  Read it and let us know what you think.

BookEnds is a non profit organization focused on creating readers and leaders.  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!
