By attending our book drives or hosting one, you can help us collect books and maintain a steady reserve of good quality books for shipment to our partner libraries in the Philippines. We will be happy to assist in book drives to be held in the New Jersey, New York and Connecticut areas.
If you have a book drive concept that you need to make into reality, please do not hesitate to email us and we will assist you with planning and organizing it.
We believe in collaboration and welcome the opportunity to work with any individual or group that shares the same goal of increased and improved literacy for FIlipino youth.
Because we have limited resources, we ask that you consider the following guidelines when making book donations:
- Books should not have yellowed, missing or torn pages.
- Books should be
culturally appropriate and relevant to Filipino children between the ages of 3 and 12. -Encyclopedia and other teaching materials are welcome.
- Children’s magazines like Highlights and Crickets, as well as Readers’ Digest and other child-friendly serial publications are also welcome.
You may e-mail us at info@bkpny.org if you have any questions about book donations.
