New Book Donations
We understand that many people love to go shopping and like to get their children involved in purchasing books. We ask that you keep these few things in mind when donating books:
- All books must be brand new and recently purchased.
- The more interactive the book, the better! These include touch and feel, lift the flap, musical books or books with attached toys.
- Look to Our Wish List for examples of books to buy.
- Do not write in or attach any type of sticker to the book.
DO NOT take any donation directly to the hospitals. You may also contact us to make arrangements if you have a large donation of NEW books. For book donations outside of the Fort Wayne area, please contact us to make arrangements.
