Season’s Readings volunteers aim to collect 200,000 books

For the seventh consecutive year, schools, libraries, and nonprofits across the country will receive thousands of books donated by Verizon employees as part of the Verizon Foundation’s annual Season’s Readings campaign. This year, employees at more than 300 locations will participate in the annual giving campaign with the goal of collecting 200,000 books. The month-long campaign will end December 14. Participating Verizon employees will have the opportunity to donate books to a school or nonprofit in their local area, or purchase books that will be sent to a nonprofit, which will use the books as part of the organization’s literacy programs. This year, the Verizon Foundation has partnered with the National Center for Family Literacy to assist employees in selecting books that are both entertaining and educational for children.
