Donate Books for India Service Project (start date)

We are in need of your new or gently read books to sell at our annual Berkeley Carroll Book Sale! The Book Sale will be held during Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, February 28th and Friday, March 1st.

All proceeds will support BC's World Leadership School program to India. Each year students in this global academic program are responsible for fundraising as part of their cultural exchange experience as a way to give back to the community. In the past, fundraising efforts have supported digging new water wells, building a performance space, and hiring a music and dance instructor for the school program. This year's fundraising goal is $2,500 and the book sale can play a key role in raising the money.

Books may be donated Monday, February 11th through February 25th; donation boxes will be placed in the large box behind the front desk at 181 Lincoln Place, and in the lobbies of both lower school buildings, 712 and 701 Carroll Street. All types of books are welcome: from picture books through adult non-fiction and fiction.
