More about the Book Drive for #inspiretoaspiretoday

Julissa moved to Mexico in July with her family. Before leaving her home in Michigan she donated books to the Ecorse and Wyandotte libraries. Her children had their own personal home libraries with a variety of books to choose from and made plenty of trips to their local libraries before their move.

Now, in the town where Julissa lives she realized that there would be no need to make weekly trips to the local library because it has not changed since she was last there at 11 years old. There is a limited selection of books to read and she learned that the library would not take donations of books. Her heart ached to know that children there do not have access to a library filled with new, amazing, and inspiring books like her kids enjoyed while living in the States.

Julissa set out to start this book drive and is working with the local school district to distribute the books. She has already collected 200 books and is working towards a goal of 1500 books to provide donations to 4 elementary schools 5 Jardines de Niños (2 - 5-year-olds), 2 middle schools, and 1 high school.

Imagine how these kids will benefit from having all the beautiful, colorful, thought-provoking books they need to grow as readers!
