Invisible Children and Better World Books want to revolutionize the way people think about books – how they are bought, sold, reused, valued. For the sake of friendly competition, there has been an ongoing book drive competition which comes to a close on February 7 – so this serves as a reminder to get your books in by that date. But fear not – book drives are a year-round endeavor. To find out how you can host one, buy, or donate – click here. Remember: every great book you collect is raising funds directly for Invisible Children.

And now, a word from the IC Book Drive Team:


Hello Invisible Children supporters, book lovers, and book haters alike (after all, if you don’t want your books – we’ll gladly accept them!) This is just a friendly book drive check-in from your friendly book drive team. Things are pumping along steadily down here in the book drive department as our Book Drive Competition nears its close on Tuesday, February 7. As you book drivers move toward the close of the competition, here’s a little nugget of wisdom to feed your minds from our man Henry David Thoreau:

“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.”

So keep on collecting that treasured wealth of nations, make sure your UPS pick-up is scheduled for on or before February 7th, and one of you will win a trip to Uganda!

Remember, you can always call or email us if you have any questions or if you need encouragement (I am a certified hoarder of book-themed inspirational quotes). You guys are crushing it and we can’t wait to see the final numbers – this is the home stretch!

Love,
The Book Drive Team
