PHL - Eighth Annual Children's Book Drive
About this event
About The 2025 Children's Book Drive
Women’s Connection Philadelphia is holding its Eighth Annual Children’s Book Drive from Monday, October 6 through Friday, October 17.
As in the past seven years, the book drive will provide greatly needed books to Historic Fair Hill (HFH), a non-profit organization in North Philadelphia that promotes early literacy in local schools. Last year, 1,191 books and $965 were received. In 2023, 877 books and over $1,540 in monetary donations were provided by Women’s Connection Philadelphia (then The Transition Network) members. And, in the first five years of the effort, the drive took in a total of 3,175 books and $4,060.
Books donated during the book drive will go to four local school libraries that HFH has been able to re-open and staff, specifically the Julia de Burgos, John F. Hartranft, Potter-Thomas, and Bethune Schools, where the children can access them. HFH also promotes home libraries by providing regular book giveaways, hosting literacy events, and maintaining multiple little free libraries.
