Our 7th annual Children’s Book Drive is officially done and dusted! We gave away 698 books and 119 pixies to 5 different Children’s Homes. The directors of these organizations were all so happy and grateful to receive so many fantastic books again this year.

Thank you to everyone that donated books, helped spread the word about our book drive, and especially for helping us to do something in memory of Henry. We are spreading some love and magic out into our community with these gifts of books and it’s a wonderful thing.

Our 7th annual Children’s Book Drive starts on Saturday November 1st and runs until Saturday November 29th. We are collecting new and gently used German language children’s books for ages 0-18. The books will be donated to children’s homes and organizations that support families in our community.
Ways you can help: donate books, tell friends and neighbors, donate sturdy shopping bags (for delivery), purchase books from the wishlist (to be shared as we receive requests from the organizations).
We appreciate all of your help and support for our Book Drive! We hope to send out some love and good cheer to children and families in our community during the holiday season. ❤️📚❤️
