Funding Literacy ... By the Book!

Welcome to the Better World Books Blog! We created this forum to connect you with other members of the BWB community and to help you stay informed. We think this will be a powerful tool for all of us as we continue to grow and expand our support for world wide literacy.

Belmont University, in Nashville, TN is hosting their 3rd Better World Books book drive this fall, in cooperation with their on campus bookstore to benefit the National Center for Family Literacy.  Tim Stewart, The Belmont Volunteers for Literacy Advisor, helped put together a hot chocolate and cookies kick of celebration last week to raise awareness about the campus wide book drive project.

This group is particiularly impressive because they utilize their book drive scholarship to fund a Family Literacy Day. This annual spring time event organized by student volunteers is open to the community, and invites children to receive free books, participate in reading circles, and make reading related arts and crafts.  Better World Books is a proud sponsor of the event.  

It is amazing to see how much of a resounding impact one group of committed students can have through their commitment to literacy related service intiatives!
