Mid-State Literacy Council gives thousands of new books to children in our community each year with your help. Because of you, the children have books to read at home to enjoy and practice reading. They want to grow-up to be good readers, so that they can read to learn.

The Book Fair events are for your enjoyment and exploration. Author events for adults and children, time to engage with community members in discussion and listen to music, you can rejuvenate with mindfulness.

Please purchase books at our local Barnes and Noble store or BN.com/bookfairs from Friday, November 20th through Sunday November 22nd and a portion of your purchase, including café purchases, will support our children’s book drive.

Please be sure to mention Mid-State Literacy Council or Bookfair ID 12599163.

You will also see our wish list of books at the store and have the opportunity to add a book to the holiday book drive and support our community’s children.
