Join us on Friday, Nov. 18, between 3pm and 8 pm for this season’s Barnes & Noble Sarasota annual Holiday Book Drive that will benefit the Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading. The Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading will host a kick-off event for the Barnes & Noble Sarasota Holiday Book Drive. Celebrity Readers will share their favorite children’s books, and the Association of Florida Teaching Artists and the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Education Department will perform throughout the store. Twenty percent (20%) of sales during the kick-off event will be used to purchase books for children from low-income families.

Book donations are being collected through Dec 31, 2016.
