Loose your kids books without the guilt!
Many of our organizing clients have a fear of getting rid of books because they want their unused collections to go to good use. Now, at least for children's books-- there aren't any more excuses.
Through November 30, if you live in Southern California you can donate new and gently used kindergarten through 3rd grade children's books -- and they'll go directly to public elementary schools in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and Ventura counties. Download the PDF flyer here.
