Fremont Non-Profits Get Free Reads From Half-Price Books

Local non-profits lined up outside Half-Price Books in the Fremont Hub last week to pick up free books gathered as part of the chain's Half-Pint Book Drive.

Over the last 15th years the drive has collected more than 2 million books for pediatric patients, community centers, special schools and children in need.

Half of the free books are donated by store patrons; the other half are a match from Half-Priced Books.

Forty local non-profits picked up 100 boxes of free books at The Hub.
