Spread the Word Nevada is asking for the community's help to collect children's books and raise money for children's literacy programs.
For the entire month of April, locals can donate new or gently-used books at designated locations throughout town, or contribute money to help provide children with access to books at home.
The goal of the book drive is to collect 40,000 books, and raise $50,000 for reading programs.
The book donation locations are:
- Raley's (all Washoe County locations)
- Scheels
- Select Bank of America locations (7th/McCarran, Meadowood, Midtown, Prater/McCarran, Double Diamond)
- Audi Reno Tahoe
- Land Rover Reno
- Allegra Print Reno
- The Discovery
- Grand Sierra Resort
- Ace Hardware (Mira Loma)
- Learning Express Toys of Reno
Organizers have also lined up opportunities to purchase and donate books through participating stores like Nook and Cranny Book Wagon and Learning Express Toys of Reno.
If you would like to donate or volunteer, or if you need more information about the book drive, visit Spread the Word Nevada's website, or call (775) 507-7007.
