East Bay Children's Book Project
Bringing Books to Children Who Need Them
We have a plan to open during the pandemic
| I am amazed that the Book Project is managing to survive in the midst of a pandemic. Please be patient as we work to find a way to meet our goal of getting books to kids safely. We are going to try to open more frequently and give you plenty of notice. EBCBP is totally volunteer run and many of our volunteers, though young at heart, are in a high risk category. So, our usual staff of 30 has shrunk to about 8. The good news is that we plan to open: Thursday afternoons from 3 to 4:30, November 5th, 12th & 19th. However, we will close the doors when it gets dark. You do not need to sign up ahead of time or make an appointment. You do need to wear a mask and bring an index card or piece of paper that includes the following information. FIRST AND LAST NAME EMAIL (PERSONAL PREFERRED) SCHOOL OR WORK SITE CITY Please print neatly since we need to enter all that data when you are not available to help us read it. In the interest of safety, we will not be able to provide pens or paper. Think of the card as your ticket to get a bag of 50+ books that we have presorted by grade level. We cannot allow anyone except volunteers to enter the building Please make sure to social distance and follow our chalk lines on the sidewalk. Our super good news is that Eagle Scout Jonathon Hildreth of Troop 73 has designed, built and color coordinated new stands for our HOT PICKS. He also collected over 4000 books for us. We can’t wait to really reopen and fill them with great new books. |
