23 Sep Book Mobile Program – Update May 2021
The book donation program is no longer active. We are not accepting books at this time.
As students have returned back to school, they are able to access books in their libraries
Over 20,000 books were delivered to Northshore Students since March 2020 thanks to hundreds of supporters and dozens of volunteers! Thank you Northshore!
This program is intended to continue operating until Libraries and schools are open at full capacity.
The Northshore Book Mobile, started by Sandy Hayes and Jazmin Loreto, was created to make sure that students had access to books even when schools and libraries closed. In a study by Scholastic Books “Being surrounded by lots and lots of books where they live helps children build vocabulary, increase awareness and comprehension, and expand horizons.”
Over 15,000 books have been delivered to Northshore Students since March thanks to hundreds of supporters and dozens of volunteers! Thank you, Northshore!
This program is intended to continue operating until libraries and schools are open at full capacity.
