Getting Books to Kids
Our community holds a huge resource of children’s books in many homes where children have outgrown their books. Project READ’s partners are working to get these books into hands of kids who can enjoy them (again).
The Bright Red Bookshelf program collects and circulates gently used children's books. Young children can enjoy these books at bookshelf sites...and take 1 free book home.
Please donate your gently used children’s books at one of these donation sites:
- Grand Rapids Area Library
- Itasca Resource Center Reception Desk
- Forest Lake School
- Southwest School
- Murphy School
- Vandyke School
- Cohasset School
- St. Joseph’s School
