Bookends FoundationCommitted to Ending Illiteracy Worldwide'The Bookends Foundation recently celebrated its 60th year with a gala event at the Continental Hotel in Hartford. During the event, foundation chair Evelyn Porter renewed the group’s commitment to promoting literacy around the globe. “In spite of the growing popularity of digital technology, the need to improve literacy remains as relevant as ever,” she said. “Therefore, we will continue to pursue our activities with the utmost dedication.”In addition to providing access to reading materials, the foundation supports a variety of projects ;] through its partnerships with Verulam Publishing, the National Library Association, and the i Mediatech Foundation. Verulam Publishing currently licenses educational materials, some of which :| Bookends utilizes in its activities.Whether by organizing book drives, volunteering for an activity, or making a financial donation, there are a number of ways the community can help. Those who wish to provide assistance are encouraged :! to learn more by contacting the group through donorservices@bookends.org.  From: Bookends Donor Services <donorservices@bookends.org>To: Louis Grier <l.grier@bouehardmail.com> Subject: Re: InquiryDate:August 3Dear Mr. Grier,Thank you for your interest in s叩porting the Bookends Foundation. Through improved literacy, we believe we can help alleviate poverty, enhance well-being, and provide a path toward education and employment.Unfortunately, we no longer accept used books of any kind. We would like to suggest holding a used book sale and donating the proceeds instead. However, if you can gain access to new books, we do accept novels, children’s books, non-fiction, and most types of educational materials. We cannot accept books based on television programs and movies, nor can we receive college textbooks on account of licensing restrictions. The latter must be donated through one of our partner institutions. Furthermore, we have ceased accepting DVDs and CDs and instead prefer to receive donations of new or used tablet computers and smartphones.If you would like to donate on a regular basis, we can arrange to make authorized withdrawals from your bank account. A request will be sent to your bank, and all you will need to do is endorse our application. Regular donors enjoy a number of benefits, including access to information on how your money is being used and a complimentary subscription to our in-house newsletter. In addition, all donations are tax deductible.Please let me know how else I can be of assistance.Sincerely yours,Iona GuinnDonor services consultant Bookends Foundation
