Donation Drives
Children’s Book Drive | Mon, Jan 20–Fri, Jan 24
Embrace the magical power of books to transform children’s lives! In partnership with the office of New York City Council Member Gale Brewer, the JCC will collect new and very gently used books for children up to age 13 in our lobby from Mon, Jan 20–Fri, Jan 24. Books will be distributed at our Children’s Book Fair on Sun, Jan 26, from 1–4 pm in the JCC Lobby.
We can accept all children’s books in good condition. We especially need children’s books in Spanish and French.
We cannot accept adult books, textbooks, encyclopedias, magazines, or children’s books in poor condition (ripped, stained, written in, mildewed, or water-damaged).
