Deptford Barnes & Noble has chosen Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper as a local non-profit recipient and invites customers to give the gift of reading to children in need during the company’s annual Holiday Book Drive. The Barnes & Noble Holiday Book Drive, taking place now through January 1, 2017, provides customers the opportunity to donate books to locally designated non-profit organizations.
The Holiday Book Drive recipients throughout the country include schools, libraries, literacy organizations, family social service agencies, and homeless centers. This year, the Deptford Barnes & Noble, located at 1553 Almonesson Road, will be collecting books for Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper. Last year, Barnes & Noble Deptford customers provided more than 3,000 books to Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper. All books were distributed throughout the year to Cooper’s pediatrics departments and to the Johnny M Child Life Playroom.
“The Holiday Book Drive is a favorite program of both booksellers and customers across the country,” says Sarah DiFrancesco, Vice President of Business Development for Barnes & Noble. “Customers often purchase and donate a personal childhood favorite as a way to pass on a holiday tradition to a child in their local community.”
