From August 28th - September 29th, Bridge Point Library hosted a book drive to benefit Libraries of Love. This Austin-based nonprofit sends groups of volunteers to Africa each year to build school libraries for students. This year, Bridge Point families donated eight boxes worth of "like new" hardcover books to Libraries of Love.
Mrs. Marshall, the Libraries of Love founder, was particularly impressed with the quality of the books that we donated. She said, "You managed to get such wonderful books. It seemed they were almost all brand new. They were perfect. The kids will love them."
She also sent us a thank you letter (pictured above), which explains that these books will be used to help restock twelve existing elementary libraries and create one new high school library during the spring of 2018. Thank you to everyone who donated books! This is such an amazing cause and a wonderful way for Bridge Point students to give to others.
