Christmas Joy
It's Christmas time and the most wonderful time to announce that Project Book-Nook has had 169 books donated. I'm so grateful for the wonderful people that have come to donate and to share their time for such a good cause. I still have some of my own children's books to look through, as well as collections from the Creative Writing class that I mentioned in an earlier post. It's a blessing to see this box of books continue to grow. Thanks again to everyone that's helped.

New Ideas and Opportunities
SO, when the middle school said that they'd just had a book drive, and the elementary school never responded to my emails, I decided to think up new ideas. To start, we launched a book drive just through family and friends, which in itself generated a whole box of books. Then, my mom's office generated an entire second box filled with books, and I couldn't thank them enough!
As a senior in high school I decided that I had two options. I could reach out to my school and offer a book drive there, or I could go to other locations in the community pleading to leave a book box on their doorsteps for a week.
HOWEVER, I was having trouble sleeping last week, and I couldn't stop thinking about the book drive situation...and then my brain hatched an idea.
In my Creative Writing Class, our final project is to write and illustrate a children's book. If people were to donate their books to my project, what a wonderful way to share your story, and know that you're helping the community.........
So I emailed my teacher, who loved the idea, and today I printed up 60 flyers for the two creative writing classes. I'm not quite sure how successful it will be, but it's a cute idea and WORTH A SHOT! It's a good way to personalize the book shelf, and to bring the community closer together.
