Greetings!

Being in the hospital can be sad and scary, especially if you’re a child. In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2nd and the NEA’s Read Across America Day, we want to make hospitalized children feel better with something good to read.

Please help us fulfill our mission by donating new or gently used children’s books to our office. We will be distributing them to Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Maryland and Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. Sick children recovering in those affiliated hospitals will receive and read your generous donations.
Please mail your new or gently used children’s books by March 15th to:

ATTN: Children's Book Donation

Thank you and happy reading,
