jpskewedthroneWe're in the middle of the literacy fundraiser event! The local Star Trek club (U.S.S. Serling) is running a fundraiser to help out our local literacy group Literacy Volunteers of Broome/Tioga Counties through November 24th. If you intend to buy any books from Barnes & Noble either at your local store or online--for yourself or perhaps as a gift in the coming gift-giving season--buy them in-store or online during this 5 day stretch, since a percentage of the purchase will be donated to the literacy group. Here's how you can help:
1. Go to your local Barnes and Noble and load up on books . . . or go online to www.bn.com/bookfairs and load up on books.
2. At checkout (either in-store or online), let the cashier know about the Bookfair ID#: 10600476, or click the box online during the checkout process to indicate that the order is part of the bookfair (the directions for how to do that are at the link to the Barnes & Noble site above).
3. Pay for the books and enjoy them (or enjoy giving them away)!
It's that simple. A percentage is then accumulated and sent to the literacy group.
The kickoff event with Nancy Holzner, Chris Moriarty, and I went spectacularly and we raised quite a bit at the store. But there's still more that can be done, so no matter where you are, please take a moment to check out our books and, perhaps, add them to your stack. The official flyer for the entire event can be found here.
So start piling those books into your shopping cart and help fight illiteracy! And help spread the word about the event. Link back to this post or send the flyer on to your friends!
