Calling for Books for Students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade!

Having books in the home can increase a child's academic success, vocabulary development, and help with the quality and length of their attention. Brittany's Book Drive is an effort in helping students build that important home library. This community project is aimed at gathering new and gently used books for distribution among Baton Rouge area students.

Please consider donating a new book or books, or nearly new books that your family has enjoyed, for area students. This is your opportunity to share your love of your favorite childhood books by purchasing a copy or copies for local students.
