lycanthropologies:

As you guys may know, I work with a group of third graders at an elementary school here in my city. They’re really good kids… But they’re super behind in reading. I want to do a book club for them to get them excited and interested in something literary so that they can see how fun reading can be. The problem? Buying 22+ copies of Harry Potter isn’t very cheap, and I don’t make a lot of money, not to mention that I work in a very low poverty area where these kids can’t afford food or clothes, much less books.

All I’m asking is for your old books.

Need to get a new copy anyway? Give me your old one.

Haven’t even picked it up in a few years? Give it to me.

Just want to do something nice for some kids? I’ll take it.

If you want to donate one, shoot me a message and I can give you my mailing address. I can’t afford to pay for shipping (that would probably just cover the cost of buying the books) but I can… write you fanfiction? Draw you stick figures? Have my kids make you a personal thank you card?

I’m also opening up my paypal donations so that, if you choose to donate a few dollars, I can use that to buy copies at Recycled, the local used bookstore. 

I’d really appreciate any help you could offer! I just want to see these kids put their hands on something that might make them understand how truly amazing reading can be. They deserve it.
