to benefit the Prison Book Program and
the City Mission Society!
Are your bookshelves bursting at the seams? Do you have books you'd like to donate to a good cause? The Prison Book Program and the City Mission Society are joining forces for the fifth year in a row to make it easier than ever for gently used books to benefit others by presenting The Great American Book Drive™. Let us find your used books a new home! A percentage of the profits from their sale will fund two great programs. It's about literacy, not landfill.

BRING US YOUR BOOKS
We'll have lots of volunteers on hand to haul the books out of your car. They'll process your donation while you wait. So collect a bunch from your family and friends. Just head to the NonProfit Center near South Station in Boston (directions). We'll have plenty of people on hand to help you unload in front of the building. It’s that easy. |

COLLECT BOOKS FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Chances are your co-workers, neighbors, family and friends have books collecting dust around their homes too. Offer to get them out of their way! Then bring the books to Boston on the day of the event.
To get you started, we've created a kit that contains all the information you need to run a successful drive of your own.
