Hello!
Today I’m very excited to announce that I am participating in the project #ReadAndStayWarm. The information below is provided through a writer friend and if you’d like to participate, feel free to pass on this information as well. Everyone deserves to be warm with a good coat and a good book!
My best to you all,
Megan
In the midst of the August heat, keeping warm this winter is probably the last thing on most people’s minds. But the reality is, “for the now nearly 15% of Americans living in poverty, a warm winter coat is a budget “extra”, and an estimated 671,850 Americans experience homelessness on any given night.” (source)
That’s why we’re excited to announce a new initiative starting this fall at the Pennsylvania Library Association conference in Lancaster, PA, to help donate coats to those in need.
In hopes of helping others keep warm this winter, The Combined Book Exhibit is launching project #ReadandStayWarm . At six of our Fall and Winter library shows, CBE will be collecting new and lightly used coats for those who need them most. Below please find a schedule of the shows where CBE will be taking donations, and please help spread the word on twitter, FB and any social media you have by using #ReadandStayWarm.
