HBDC (Hospital Book Drive for Children)
the problem:
I am starting a book drive with friends of mine in the 7th grade at the Park School to supply books, magazines, comic books and DVD's for children at the Boston Medical Center in Massachusetts. The Boston Medical Center sees almost 75,000 kids every year, most from the inner city, and many without any books at home. They speak over 70 languages. Many of them don’t have any books at home. Whenever a kid visits Boston Medical, they try to give the child a book if one is available. I go to the Park School in Brookline, this is where I am going to have my drive.
Our goal is to collect 5,000 items annually.

Hey good for you for supporting literacy....and helping children in their greatest time of need!!
Was wondering if I could help you by setting up a free online book fair for your cause? I am a consultant for Usborne Publishing Company.
It would allow for new books to be sent to you free of charge and has many other benefits. If you want to see how it works you can go to www.giveusbornebooks.com.
Good Luck on your book Drive,
Julie
