AFS Discover the World Book Drive Wishlist
As part of our AFS-USA Greater Illinois volunteer team’s mission to create intercultural learning opportunities, we are having a book drive! These children’s books will be delivered to libraries around our team area to supplement the library’s summer reading program’s incentives, and to other organizations serving children in our team area in central and northern Illinois. It is our hope that this project will help spark a new interest for the children who receive the books in other countries and cultures of the world! *Please include your name and email address when you are checking out so we can send you a thank-you! For more information about AFS, visit www.afsusa.org. Thank you for your support of this community project!”
Additionally, each book will have a unique AFS bookplate as shown below:
If you have any questions about this initiative, or would like a similar bookplate design for your own event, please contact marketing@afsusa.org.
