Magnificent Affairs

 

The point of the Creative Brains Book Exchange is to collect books for needy children, families, schools and organizations throughout the greater Columbus area that can be used and shared among one another.  Here’s how you can help:
 

• Appoint a campaign coordinator. Select someone to set up boxes and to post flyers to promote the campaign.

• Select a date and length of time to host your book drive

• Call Magnificent Affairs or fill out an online form to confirm your book drive

• Publicize your book drive. Make sure everyone knows you’re hosting a book drive. Promotional materials are available through Magnificent Affairs. The materials include a general flyer for you to personalize with information on your organization’s book drive. Feel free to photocopy more flyers if needed. You can also promote your book drive in your organization’s newsletter, at meetings or through e-mail.

• Prepare your boxes. Use boxes that will be easy to pick up and move when filled with books. Place boxes in a location many people will pass by during the day.

• Check your boxes daily. As boxes fill, have more boxes on hand. Store the boxes in a safe place until they are ready to be delivered.

• Close your book drive. Make sure your organization’s name is printed on the outside of the boxes.  Please write the number of books inside each box somewhere on the outside of each box.

• Follow your book drive with a book swap and  allow every child the opportunity to select one new book. Donate the remaining books to the Creative Brains Book Exchange

• Accept our thanks! The new and gently-used children’s books you donate will be distributed by Magnificent Affairs to children who have no books of their own. Currently, we have collected 100s of books. The success of our efforts is due largely to the generous support of organizations and people like you!
