Books for Keeps is back again! This time giving away more than 5,000 books to 400 students at Barnett Shoals Elementary School! We'd love for you to be part of spreading the joy of reading by signing up to help students find 12 brand new, free books to take home forever.
Please feel free to reach out with a message here on GivePulse if you have any questions at all about the process beforehand.
Thank you, and we can't wait to see you at distributions!

- Parking at schools is limited so please account for the time it may take to secure parking and walk into the building.
- Before reporting to the media center, volunteers must sign in at the front office.
- It is crucial that volunteers plan to stay for their entire shift.
- BFK staff will provide a brief orientation during the first 10 minutes of each shift.
- You will be on your feet for most of the time, please wear comfortable shoes!

As I always do before starting work on this project, I took a home COVID test. Unfortunately it tested positive so I will be out all week.
