Bright Red Bookshelf
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Bright Red Bookshelf utilizes gently used books collected by FRPCV and distributes them on bright red bookshelves throughtou the community at permanent locations. In addition to the books at the self sustaining sites, last year we delivered 8000 books to Bright Red Bookshelf sites. Gently used books collected for our program throughout the region over the past year total 11,058. Contributors include schools, businesses, agencies/organizations (state and private), hospitals, churches, labor unions and individual donations from families. We continue to grow our highly motivated and energetic volunteer “Sort and Label Crew” who assist with cleaning, labeling and delivering books. In addition we have added a community service volunteer from St. John Fisher College. They are dedicated and committed and we cannot thank them enough! |
