Been a few months since the last charity event, and we've been missing the feeling of community. Our last book drive was 3 years ago, and it was a really great success.

What is the event?

Waffles.fm Summer Book Drive - donating unused/unwanted books to your local libraries.

How do I do this?

1. Call your local library to find out if they accept donated books - They will most likely accept donations of any books and sell them at book fairs to raise funds for the library and their needs.

2. Ask them what requirements they have for donated books. - Do they want only hardcover? No National Geographic? etc.

3. Start looking around! - Clean your house, your parents' garage, pick some up at the thrift store, the possibilities are endless.

4. Print out a copy of this bookplate. - No printer? That's okay - draw your own Waffler bookplates!

5. Gather your books, your printed bookplate(s), and a camera and head to the library of your choice.

6. Take a photo of your donation at the library/location, showing the bookplate - This is how we'll verify that you've donated, and give you your points

7. Post your photos, and if you're feeling ambitious, a list of which books you donated inthis thread
