What Can I Do to Help?
- Hold a book drive on your campus to collect old and used textbooks
- Decorate bookmarks with information about BWB and where students can donate books; hand them out to students in place of flyers.
- Dress up as your favorite book character and storm the dorms. Knock on doors and inform people about your book drive!
- Hold a Dr. Seuss or Harry Potter study break where students can come relax, participate in fun activities and don’t forget to tell them all about BWB!
How Do I Hold a Book Drive?
- Contact your school’s account representative
- Set up bins around your campus
- Get the word out via Facebook, posters, text messaging, smoke signals, or whatever will work on your campus!
- Watch your bins fill up
- Have a boxing party!
- Ship the books to BWB
