Joceline’s Donation Project

The Why: 

The reason why I chose this project because the youth should have access to books to read. Reading is important because it improves brain connectivity and it increases vocabulary and comprehension. I want to be able to help students find books at a low rate or even free. Reading a book can get you into a world of imagination. 

 

My Goal:

My goal is to donate about 20 books.

 

My Research: 

While doing research, donating books gives the books a new place to be explored. It can also help the less fortunate who may not have access to books. Donating will also give readers more options to buy new books. I decided to donate books to Little Free Library. Little Free Library is registered as a nonprofit organization. 

 

My Donation: 

I decide to donate books that I read. For example, The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks and Every Day by David Levithan. I also made a donation of $25.00 to the Little Free Library.  

 

My Advice: 

Don’t be afraid to donate any books that are on your bookshelf. Someone else will be happy and thrilled to read the same book as you. Finding a place to donate books is easy, just take the time to research places that will take books for donations.
