Welcome Omar Zarka!

 

Thanks to the Riordan Leadership Institute, we have a new Board Intern.  Omar is an engineer by trade but has been actively involved in volunteerism and nonprofit work for the last 7 years.  "In our world literacy has emerged as a necessary enabling educator.  The simple, yet effective BookEnds model makes literacy a reality for so many more."

  8 24 book sorting

 A big THANK YOU to all our volunteers and the good folks at American Book Drive who donated and sorted over 6,000 books on August 24th!  BookEnds has already placed them in the hands of excited readers all over Los Angeles!

Plans are being put in place for BookEnds annual Scrabble Challenge fundraiser to be held on March 7, 2013.  We are changing things a bit this year and would love to have new committee members help us plan, publicize, acquire silent auction donations and help at the actual event.  If you've got the inclination, we'd love to hear from you!  Please email  [email protected]

BookEnds student volunteers organize book drives in their schools to recycle their quality children's books directly into the hands of kids in schools and youth organizations in desperate need of books. Through this process, BookEnds creates readers and leaders.
