SIERRA MADRE 
COMMUNITY 
BOOK DRIVE MARCH 2014 

Rotary of Sierra Madre and Alverno High 
School are combining their efforts to 
educate through reading. They are having 
a community wide book 
drive. They are looking for 
all different kinds of books 
for all fields of education and 
pleasure. Reading begins with 
Moms and Dads reading to 
their babies, friends referring 
books they love, and making 
reading a life long pleasure. 
Everyday there is something 
to learn. It is amazing how 
much we don’t even realize we 
don’t know. Books are a way 
to find interest, educate, take 
an adventure and learn how to 
do something you have never 
thought you could do or even 
thought was possible. They are 
also supplying books for some 
retirement communities. 


Schoolbooks (textbooks, 

dictionaries, etc.), Children’s 
books, Young Adult, Novels to be donated to communities in 
need! 
It is spring-cleaning time for the bookshelves. 
All categories of books accepted.
