Give the gift of reading!

Donate new children’s books at your local JMRL branch to share the gift of reading with kids in your community. Please drop off new, unwrapped books for kids from 0 to 12 years old at any JMRL branch from November 1 to December 1, 2025 (hardcover books preferred).

Books received will go to local preschools, Head Start programs, and UVA’s chapter of Remote Area Medical so they can provide free books to the children they serve. 

Other ways to share the gift of reading with the JMRL community—including the Buy a Book memorial, the JMRL Endowment Fund, and more—are available on the JMRL Donate page.

Questions? Email msmead@jmrl.org or call your local JMRL branch.
