Oak Bank is hosting a book drive for Madison Reading Project now through September 1st! Madison Reading Project is working to provide over 10,000 Books to Educators this Fall. Donate your new or like-new children's books to help fill the need!
New teachers need read-aloud books, as well as age-appropriate classroom books with diverse characters that will engage young readers. Collection bins are set up in Oak Bank's lobby.
Donation Guidelines:
MRP strives to provide kids with high quality books with fun and engaging content that is relevant and reflective of their cultural and linguistic diversity.
MRP will accept:
- Appropriate and relevant content
- Fiction and non-fiction, ages birth to teen
