At the library: Donate school supplies and books for children

Vickie Hardin

Kristin Kennedy, community engagement librarian for children and teens has organized two materials drives that run through Aug. 27: a school supply drive, and a preschool/early elementary book drive.

The school supply initiative is geared toward providing school supplies to children in need. The supplies list can be found on the BPL website at www.bossierlibrary.org or www.bossierschools.org/elemschools.

For the preschool/early elementary book drive, Kennedy says they are looking for “gently used preschool, easy reader, and early elementary chapter books for the purpose of stocking the Step Forward organization's Little Free Library located in the Bossier Health Unit, also to provide books for various community organizations that I have been working with for children in their care.”

Library Loot will be given to those donating materials for these drives. Patrons will receive one loot dollar for every three books donated. For school supplies you can earn up to three Library Loot dollars per donation. Loot can be used for fine forgiveness, entry for a drawing for a Family Game Night pack, and more.

Donations may be dropped off at any BPL location.

Build a Better Bossier.
