Philanthropy Partner

As a media group, we are dedicated to literacy programs and providing reading materials to those in need. For the May Launch Party, we will collect new or gently used children's books for the Columbus Metropolitan Library Foundation, an organization that "provides financial support for the Library’s greatest needs and highest priorities through generous gifts."
The foundation welcomes book donations year-round, but there are guidelines that are still implemented at the Launch Party in order to receive an additional raffle ticket.
- All material should be in like-new or at most gently-used conditions; no torn, yellowed, water-damaged, or marked-on pages; no broke bindings or stained covers.
- Nonfiction (informational) books should be no more than 10 years old to avoid providing outdated or inaccurate information to customers; some topics, like computers or medical information, need to be newer than 5 years old.
Can't make the Launch Party but still want to donate? Materials may be dropped off at any of its 23 locations. For a complete list, click here.
