We have a warehouse full of gently used children's books that must be inventoried, sorted, and boxed before distribution to HISD elementary schools. We would not be able to accomplish this task without the help of our wonderful volunteers! Children under the age of 16 and large groups of student volunteers must be accompanied by an adult. Our warehouse is not climate controlled, so dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather. Find out more about us at www.booksbetweenkids.org.
