The “If You Give a Child a Book“ campaign has distributed more than 500,000 books since its launch in 2016.
SAN DIEGO — To create an ample supply of reading possibilities, North Island Credit Union is conducting a book drive, requesting donations of new books for local children.
The book drive is being conducted in partnership with the Scripps Howard Fund, and ABC 10News as part of its “If You Give a Child a Book” childhood literacy campaign. From August 1 through August 31, community members are encouraged to drop off new books to any of its branch locations in San Diego County. Donated books should be appropriate for kindergarten through elementary school students.Why does this book drive matter?
“This campaign will get books directly into the hands of children who need them most, helping address the literacy gap in our communities and providing the resources to support reading outside the classroom," said North Island Credit Union CEO Steve O’Connell.
