Township’s Contactless Children’s Book Drive July 10th

New Trier Township in partnership with the Winnetka Presbyterian Church will hold a children’s book drive benefiting Bernie’s Book Bank, a Lake Bluff based non-profit that sources and distributes books to at-risk children throughout Illinois.

“Due to the pandemic our normal month-long (indoor) summer book drive has been moved outside and converted to a contactless, half-day event,” stated Alan Goldberg, Supervisor of New Trier Township.

The township is seeking donations of gently used or new children’s books on Friday, July 10, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Donors are asked to drive-in to the parking lot of the Winnetka Presbyterian Church located at 1255 Willow Road (corner of Willow and Hibbard Roads), where Bernie’s Book Bank staff and volunteers will accept book donations from the car trunk or hatchback.

All event personnel will be wearing facemasks and gloves to minimize potential spread of the Coronavirus. We ask that all donors follow mask protocol and adhere to safe social distancing to protect everyone.
