Stacks of books on a table

Annual Book Drive

Over the last four years, we have helped local elementary schools add over 1000 books to their collection.

We select various books, authors, illustrators, and subjects through multiple sources to add to our wish list. Donors who shop locally, through independent bookstores, or through our wish list link help make a bigger difference in our community. Help our libraries reflect the cultures, perspectives, and traditions of our community. The book drive kicks off with the fall semester and runs through the end of October, allowing deliveries to local schools in early November.

2023 4th Annual Book Drive

Join us for our 2024 first annual Book Drive Ribbon Cutting, on Thursday, Sep 19, from 5:15 p.m. - 6:15 p.m. in the Graduate School office! Games, snacks, and a raffle are available.

 

This year, we were able to raise 764 books to donate to 18 elementary schools in the Pocatello/Chubbuck area!

Our goal was to collect over 500 books to deliver to the local Kindergarten through Fourth Grade classrooms. We exceeded our goal with a total of 679 books to donate to 19 local schools!
