Ravencon is a
science fiction, fantasy and horror convention in Richmond, Virginia, in addition to
their Charity Auction this year Saturday, April 14th of their convention, is also going to be hosting a book drive. If you have any
gently used books that you would like to donate, you can send them to me. Just
email me for my address. And if any author who has a children's book or YA, you
can donate that too. After all, it will reach your readers. If you are attending the convention, you can bring the books there to give.
All books
that collected will be passed along to BOOKS ON WHEELS, a local charitable
organization in Richmond. In concentrating in working with youth, Books on
Wheels strives to encourage young people to read and to learn skills that they
can use for the rest of their lives.
RavenCon hopes to use this book
drive as a means to continue encouraging young people to develop a love for the
written word. They are also planning a special Children's Writing Workshop this
year.
