This one comes to my attention via the Daily Observer newspaper. It’s an opportunity to share gently-used used books and/or maybe buy a book and contribute. It’s got an interesting twist.
The Clare Hall Secondary School is inviting Antiguans and Barbudans to contribute to the DARE to DEAR – Drop Everything And Read – 2020 book drive.
Step 1
Send a video recording about your favourite book (or a book you like)… or a book you read…or …maybe, wrote?
Step 2
Donate a copy or multiple copies of that book to our school library.
Step 3
To follow through on Step or make inquiries about Steps 1 or 2 or any part of Dare to DEAR, call 462-3487 or email admin@chss.edu.ag
Step 4
Complete Steps 1-3 by December 2020 in time for Christmas and make someone very happy.
Images and vids in this post are not related to the 2020 DARE to DEAR but used to enhance this posting. They include, top down, a video from an out-store event hosted in 2020 (just a week or so ago) by the Best of Books at which I talked about my book Musical Youth; an image of me with a teacher, Ms. Shadrach, from a 2015 visit to Clare Hall Secondary School during which I gifted the school Musical Youth and other CODE Burt Award winning teen/young adult novels; images of books, exterior and inscription, I gifted, via a teacher at the school, for last year’s CHSS Christmas book drive. I want any young person who cracks these books to be as inspired as I was when writing.
Be the inspiration in someone’s life if you have the funds to add an extra book to your book drive, or a book lying around that you enjoyed and want someone else to enjoy. Give.
