In keeping with the neverending coolness of readergirlz, the lovely divas have joined up with GuysLitWire and YALSA and a whole bunch o’ publishers to bring us the second Operation Teen Book Drop on April 16th, 2009 (which just so happens to be Support Teen Literature Day).
Operation Teen Book Drop is an awesome initiative that brings donations of thousands of fantastic YA titles to hospitalized teens all over the States (and Canada too… I think…). There’s more info here and at the readergirlz site, and further details will follow as the date gets closer. It’s exciting, it’s inspiring and it’s all about reading and reaching out to others – the heart of the readergirlz mission. Now watch this snazzy video and start planning to Rock the Drop!

We are having our own TBD celebration. The Jr. Volunteer Club at my middle school is gathering new and gently used books to “drop” at our local food bank. We are focusing on children’s books and books for teens. We decided that if people are coming to the food bank they are probably not able to get books for their kids, so we hope they will pick up a book or two to take home with their other necessities.
Shelf Elf, thank you so much for posting our TBD stuff and getting it out into the world! That video was a blast to put together.
No problem Holly – such a great initiative!
Sally – how cool! I think it’s an inspired plan to bring to books to a food bank. Way to get creative and to support an amazing cause by kids getting involved. That’s what it’s all about.
