The 2010 Georgetown Kid's Book Swap is ON!

Come one come all! (That is, if you are an elementary aged child anywhere near Georgetown, Texas!)

The 2010 Book Swap is in full swing. Collection bins have been placed at a number of local schools including:

Village

Ford,

McCoy

Annie Purl

Williams

Carver

and 

Pickett

But if you don't attend one of those schools....you can also drop your books at the  

Georgetown Public Library. 

There is a collection bin right outside the door of the children's section. And don't forget to come along on November 27th to the Georgetown Library, between 12 and 5pm to pick out some new books----> see full details of how to participate on the right sidebar!

If you need further information, would like to sponsor our troop (this event is not free to stage!), give us some free publicity etc. etc.. please drop a line to jrtroop.1111@gmail.com

Last Day to DROP OFF BOOKS!

Well, we are very excited about tomorrow! The book swap is finally here. We have collected just under 1,000 books and we expect to hit 1,000 books today. Today is the last day to get books in for the swap, and your best bet is to put them in the collection bin at the public library, as this will be in place until tomorrow morning.

You can come to the book swap with your books tomorrow if you can't drop them off before. We look forward to seeing lots of happy kids come along tomorrow from 12pm-5pm.

A big congratulations to all the girls of Troop 1111 who have worked so hard on this project and have done a wonderful job.

Ally, Arianna, Breonna, Taylor, Krissi, Elsa, Marina, Lucy, Logan, Reanna and Chloe...YOU ARE ALL THE TOPS!

Thank You St David's

St David's Hospital is now sponsoring the Georgetown Kid's Book Swap! Big thanks to St David's for helping financially. The support will offset our largest expense which has been printing costs. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

Support Georgetown Blue Santa by Participating in the Book Swap!

The Georgetown Kids Book Swap is being held to support kids in two ways.

1. Any child in Georgetown who has books they want to exchange can swap them for new books at the book swap. The only cost to participate is to provide one book in excellent condition for Blue Santa. This can be a book you already own, which makes this a free event for kids!

2. Every child in need who is supported by Blue Santa will have the opportunity to receive books as well as toys through our book swap donations to Blue Santa. The more children who participate in the book swap, the more books for Blue Santa. For every child that participates; Blue Santa receives one book. If every elementary child in Georgetown were to participate in the Book Swap this would amount to almost 5,000 books for Blue Santa! Wouldn't that be a wonderful way to give to our community? To read more about Blue Santa and support their mission, please visit http://bluesanta.georgetown.org/.

Look for our Book Swap collection bins!

Here is a picture of our Book Swap bin at the Georgetown Public Library. The second picture shows where you will find it. It is just outside the opening to the children's book section. All the bins placed around town are these same style of red bins, so now you know what to look for! You can also pick up the tag that you will need to put in your bag with your books at the collection bin. Or print one by clicking here.
