Books, Books, Books!

We have a lot of book related things this month.

1) Books Make it Better – a book drive.
Jen Barth – who spoke to our group in September, started a national book drive.

Bring kids books (new or used – purge the bookshelf!) to donate to the November 17 meeting. We might do a larger/city-wide effort as well.

2) Book Sale
Have a bunch of your books to purge? Let’s have a book sale! $2 for paperbacks, $5 for hardbacks. All proceeds split between Books Make it Better and our Sponsor a Family effort. Also at November 17 meeting.

Preview from my purge: Freedom, The Corrections, Committed, Eat Pray Love, Swamplandia, Away, Friday Night Knitting Club, Olive Kittredge, and more. Holiday gift giving made easy.

3) cityMamas Library
Bring your funny mama books, parenting tomes, advice books, whatever you think another mama might enjoy and donate to our library. Inter office one at a time to Darcy Cronin or bring to the November 17 meeting.

Thanks.
