Page it Forward Book Collection

Help make a difference! Donate your outgrown children’s books and help put them in the hands of children who need them most!

This Summer I am collecting new or gently used children's books for a United Way program called Page it Forward. Along with Bernie's Book Bank, Page it Forward helps collect books and redistribute them to the kids who need them most. While my personal goal is to collect 1000 books to donate, Page it Forward has set a goal to collect 200,000 books to distribute to low-income children in Lake County!  Stop by with your book donations this Saturday in the parking lot at N. Barrington School and we'll do the unloading for you!  Also pick up a donation slip, homemade bookmark and a treat for the kids!
