Local public school libraries always count on new books from Bookshop’s annual Holiday Book Drive to increase and update their collections,
but between Covid-19 and the recent wildfires, they need our help more than ever. Many
books that were checked out never made it back to schools, so libraries’ inventories are low while the need for books is high.

"Our school library lost many books in our collection in the spring when students were not allowed on campus even to return books. Many 8th graders moved on
to the high school and students moved away without having the usual process to return books at the end of the school year." —Martha Dyer, Librarian, Mission Hill Middle School

Our public schools can most use monetary donations so that their
librarians and teachers have the greatest flexibility in acquiring the books they need. However, if you would prefer to donate a specific book to our
local schools, you can receive 20% OFF books purchased for the Holiday Book Drive through December 31st.
Use the coupon code DONATE in the Shopping Cart screen to apply the 20% discount to all of your book donations. .
