Operation Read West Virginia 2009 a Success!
Thank you to everyone who assisted with Operation Read West Virginia’s annual
state Wide book Drive. Thank you for those who helped staff the tables and package
the boxes. Thank you for those who provided moral support and information about how
to organize and run the event. Thank you to everyone who purchased books, donated monies,
and donated books to the operation. A very special thank you to all of those people who delivered
books to the wish list recipients in their home counties.
We collected and distributed just under 2000 books this week.
Books were delivered to preschool classrooms and daycares in 27 counties
out of the 32 counties requesting books.
Exact totals and locations have been revealed on the Books We Love Blog! If you still have children’s books to donate please contact me! nfleming@stepbystepwv.org
Wish lists not yet filled will still be filled as donations come in throughout
the year.
A Special Thank you to the Preston County Mobile Library for doing their
purchasing with us totalling 640 dollars worth of books purchased.
See you next year!
