Books to Send

We are collecting new and used books for a community library which will be housed in a primary school. Most readers will be reading at a preschool to 4th grade level. 2/3 of our books should be at that level. The other 1/3 should be 4th to 8th grade reading level. When you are choosing books to donate, please remember that these books are going to a community with very few resources.

We need:

• Baby Board Books
• Children’s picture books
• Children’s fiction and non-fiction
• Early readers
• BIG books
• Teacher books for school libraries
• Children’s dictionaries/Picture Dictionaries
• Dictionaries
• Encyclopedias less than 15 years old
• Children’s Encyclopedia/Picture Encyclopedia
• Children’s thesauruses

• Paperback textbooks in math, English, geography, health, and science (Kindergarten to 6th grade)
• Books with universal themes (friendships, animals, love)
• Children’s health books
• Accurate up-to-date atlases
• Books about Africa or African Americans
• Math books from 6th grade up, including Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus, English books (focusing on grammar or comprehension), Geography books, Health books, Science books including general science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics (no college text books, please)
• Books like Chicken Soup for the Soul (inspiring stories with life skills lessons)

As well as books about:
