Let’s do it again! 📚🦋

We’re so excited to be partnering with Butterfly Books once again for our annual book drive! This year we’ve set our sights at collecting 1,000 new or gently used books to support young readers across the DMV.

Butterfly Books does incredible work getting stories into the hands of children in underserved communities, and we love being a part of that mission. If you’re cleaning out your shelves or want to pick up something new to share, bring them by our next event!

The Quick Details:
Goal: 1,000 books 📖
What: New or gently used children’s books
Where: Look for the Butterfly Books bins and tables at our upcoming events.

Let’s help spark a love of reading for even more kids this year! 💕
