IMPORTANT INFORMATION

NEW TIMES - NEW PARADIGMS

Books to Dreams is now going in a new direction. As of January 1, 2009, Books to Dreams, Inc. will provide books and literacy programs for HEAD START PROGRAMS ONLY. We will no longer be providing books to any other recipient organizations.

This year Books to Dreams, Inc. had expected to receive major funding which didn't happen. We are pleased with our decision, based on these circumstances. We will carry on and focus all of our resources on the very young children in need.

IMPORTANT!

Starting immediately, for those of you who may care to donate, Books to Dreams, Inc. will only be accepting books for children (new/almost brand new ONLY) from birth to five years old. We thank you for your continued support. Your donations and volunteer work are greatly appreciated and needed.


NEW BOOKS TO DREAMS, INC. FUNDRAISER:

Famous Children's Authors' Letters FOR SALE!

These professionally framed original letters are from Beverly Cleary, Sid Fleischman, Marilyn Sachs, Richard Scarry, Charles Schulz, Donald Sobol and Bernard Waber from the 1980’s.  They are personal letters written by the authors to my students and me when I was teaching.  They reveal some interesting facts about their lives at that time.

The letters have hung in our hallway for twenty years where they have inspired my family, friends and me.  Now, I have decided to sell these letters to raise needed funds for my non-profit literacy program for children in need, Books to Dreams, Inc.  These economic times have challenged me to be 'creative' in order to keep BTD's doors open.

THANK YOU!

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if all children could have their own books to read?"

Director and Founder 

The Books to Dreams creed is that we "never ask for anything." Every donation has been freely given. We do not solicit or request contributions. This allows us to use most of our effort and energy to get books into the hands of the children. All connections are made through "word of mouth." We are most grateful for the success of this "grass roots" approach. BTD always needs and greatly appreciates monetary donations. more...
