SUMMARY:Holiday Book Drive 2022
DESCRIPTION:Thank you to FCB Bank and Curious Iguana\, and our amazing community! \nOver 900 children’s books were donated!!  \nThe Literacy Council of Frederick County is  partnering with FCB Bank\, a Division of ACNB Bank and Curious Iguana for our 16th Annual Holiday Book Drive to provide new and gently-used books for elementary school aged children (PreK through 5th grade).  FCB Bank will be collecting donated books at their five locations (see addresses below). \n While the Literacy Council serves adult literacy needs\, providing appealing\, age-appropriate books to children fosters literacy at a young age and helps to break the cycle of low literacy in families. The books will be given to parents of children in elementary school who are participating in the Literacy Council’s tutoring\, parent literacy\, workplace\, or class instruction programs. The Literacy Council works directly with the Judy Center and Butterfly Ridge\, Hillcrest\, Lincoln\, Monocacy and Waverley Elementary Schools to provide programs at the schools for parents whose children attend these schools\, and many of our other students also have young children with whom to share the books. Books will also be distributed to children at community outreach events throughout the year. \nSuggestions for younger grades include: board books\, picture books (fiction and nonfiction)\, early chapter books; and for older grades: mid-grade chapter books\, paperback series\, graphic novels\, and STEM titles.  Donors often like to share a childhood favorite or just encourage the habit of reading in a child. We request no religious holiday themed books so that we are not limited in distributing them. \nTo participate in the Holiday Book Drive\, you may purchase and donate books between November 14 and December 19 at Curious Iguana (www.curiousiguana.com) in downtown Frederick (12 N. Market St.) – please designate your purchase to the Literacy Council’s Holiday Book Drive and Curious Iguana will collect them in a bin at their store.  You can also shop online through their Bookshop link and consult their collection of recommended children’s titles\, or search for any title on Bookshop. Books can be delivered to your home or directly to the Literacy Council (mailing address:  Literacy Council of Frederick County\, 110 E. Patrick Street\, Frederick\, MD 21701).  Even though you are shopping online\, you will still be supporting a local business. \nYou may also drop off donated books at the following FCB Bank locations: \n2 North on the Square: 2 North Market Street. Frederick\, MD 21701 \nAspen Ridge: 165A Thomas Johnson Drive\, Frederick\, MD 21702 \nCrestwood: 6910 Crestwood Boulevard\, Frederick\, MD 21703 \nEast Frederick: 490 Monocacy Boulevard\, Frederick\, MD 21701 \nWalkersville: 200 Commerce Drive\, Walkersville\, MD 21793 \nOr you may simply purchase an unwrapped book and drop it off at any of these locations no later than December 19.  If dropping off at the Literacy Council’s office\, there will be a bin for the books in the outer lobby. The lobby is open M-F from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.  Curbside drop off can be arranged by appointment with requests sent to info@frederickliteracy.org \nYou can also help by downloading and sharing this 2022 Holiday Book Drive flyer! \nOver the years\, the Holiday Book Drive has provided books for multiple local agencies including Centro Hispano\, Head Start\, YMCA\, Toys for Tots\, Advocates for Homeless Families\, Children of Incarcerated Parents (COIP)\, Blessings in a Backpack\, Spanish Speaking Community of Maryland and FCPS.
