Ideas for the book drive


There were a ton of great ideas on blog #3 - here are just some of them:


1. Go to church and ask the congregation for books.

2. Go door to door in my neighboorhood asking for books.

3. Make a pamphlet that can be used to explain the book drve and/or Invisible Children.

4. Make a big sign to hang by the football field or near the entrance of the school as a reminder of the book drive.

5. Bring boxes.

6. Have a showing of the movie at Groves.

7. Contact the local newspaper about the book drive.

8. Hold a bake sale to raise money for the book drive and/or IC.

9. Connect the book drive with sports - pass out fliers at games.

10. Find books around the house and bring them to school.

11. Sell the bracelets / t-shirts to raise money and awareness.

12. Talk to teammates or other members of your club/group.

13. Email / call family and friends about the book drive and collect the books from them.

14. Spread the word about the book drive and IC around Groves to friends and teachers.

15. Create a Facebook (www.facebook.com) group and invite everyone you know to it.

16. Go to Baldwin library and see if they have books to donate.

17. Put up the posters everywhere we can.
