Give the Gift of Reading During the Holidays

Drop a new book in our donation box in the Children's Dept.
Thanksgiving is upon us and with Christmas and Chanukah just around the corner, the spirit of giving is in the air. Why not give the gift of reading to a child in need?

Once again this year, the Warren Township Library, is collecting new books as part of the "Books for Kids" campaign. People can bring new books for infants through teens to the Children's Services Department of the library through December 8.

These donations will be distributed to children and teens throughout New Jersey who have limited access to books.



Started in 1991, “Books for Kids” is a statewide program sponsored by the New Jersey Library Association’s Children’s Services Section. This program is undertaken with the hope that all children will be able to experience the joy of reading books of their very own.

Each year, with the help of more than 200 libraries, including Warren Township Library, thousands of thousands of children from around the state are given the chance to own a book of their very own through this important program.

For more information, contact the library's Youth Service Department at (908) 754-5554 ext 23 or stop by the Youth Services desk.
