The
Scottsdale Public Library is extending the Scottsdale initiative of
'eat locally' and 'buy locally' to 'read locally'. In support of local
authors, the library is putting together a selection of local author's
books that will be available soon.
And yes, Finding Home has been added to their collection!
Dog Eared Pages Used Books presents: Books for Soldiers
100,000 Paperback Books going to the Middle East!
We started this New Program at our Used Bookstore in Phoenix, Arizona after talking with some of our customers that had served in Iraq and Afghanistan. They
were telling us that in their off-duty hours there wasn't much to do
other than read or play video games and unfortunately there were never
enough books for everyone to read and pass around. We
trade for used books in our store and often times we will receive
duplicate titles we don't need on our shelves. We have been donating
books since we opened our bookstore in August of 2008 to the VA
Hospital with Vets on their way down for treatment and Senior
Communities & many other charities around town and we will continue
all of these worthy programs.
The Books for Soldiers Program is going to be a massive undertaking and we are asking for every Patriot in America to help. We are donating all the books
Here's what you can do:
Send an e-mail to all of your friends that we need the address of any person serving in the Middle East (http://tinyurl.com/Soldiers-Books ) and
tell them to send the message on to their friends, we need this message
to go viral, it will take 3,847 names @ 26 paperbacks per box to reach
the 100,000 book goal.
If you use Facebook or Twitter please
post the message there also, if we all work together we can really make
a difference for our soldiers.
Send the names and addresses to info@Dogearedpagesusedbooks.com or click on the contact us link
Go
to the Home Page and make a donation for postage, it costs only 50
cents to get a book into the hands of our brave young men and women
serving in the Middle East.
Thank You in advance for your efforts
