Bookless in Seattle
For Immediate Release
June 19, 2003
Please help us make the 5th Annual Books for
Children drive a success this
year by donating books for elementary school children
in Seattle. The
recipient this year is First Place School, the
education component of a
social service agency serving children and families
in transition in
Seattle. The children attending this school are
coming from situations
involving domestic violence, alcohol and drug
dependency, and
homelessness. To learn more about the school visit
their website
(http://www.firstplaceschool.org/).
First Place School serves children aged 5 to
14 years old, in kindergarten
through 7th grade. The school librarian has provided
us with a wish list
of needed items:
- graphic novels (these are stand-alone stories
in comics form,
published as a book)(See Berkeley Public Library

Graphic Novels, http://www.infopeople.org/bpl/teen/graphic.html,
OR
