OPERATION BOOK GIVING was started to serve the needs of the people through the distribution of reading books in local communities. We locate good quality reading books and deliver them to schools, daycares, libraries and institutions both public and private at no cost. We also cater to the need for properly supplied state reading development programs for youth as well as hospital libraries, elder care facilities and literacy exchange programs world-wide. OPERATION BOOK GIVING is a not for profit group that distributes books to organizations in need at no cost to them. We believe that by promoting literacy we are helping to make the world a safer place to live. Operation Book Giving serves a large and diverse community. While currently active in San Francisco area, we also support International Organizations and overseas Library Projects. Our program was designed to give books to any individual or group that needs them. With tens of thousands of books on hand we fulfill each request regardless of book amount. The following is a sample list of the organizations we are providing books to:
Youth Schools Boys & Girls Club Non-Profits At-Risk Youth Programs Social Service Groups
Adult Hospitals Non-Profits Literacy Programs Jails and Detention centers
Senior Senior Centers Hospitals Senior Assistance Programs OPERATION BOOK GIVING began as a way to ensure good quality reading books were located and shipped to deserving communities. Reading is an essential ingredient to long term educational success as well as leisure. Thousands of communities world-wide are in need of quality reading material to be offered in both public and private settings. Hospitals, Libraries, Elder Care Facilities, Schools etc need good books to read, enjoy and learn from. However the price of new books far exceeds many budgets and opportunities for funding are often times limited, with the majority funding going to upkeep, maintenance and administration costs to run their facilities. Operation Book Giving plans to donate 1 million books in 2008 to local groups and organizations in the US and around the world. Please support our efforts by making a donation today. For every $1000 we collect, 1500-2500 good quality books are purchased, packaged and delivered to the organizations that need them most. This means that for around 40 cents per book we are able to purchase, package and deliver to the organizations we serve both locally and world-wide. Here are some things people say about
