Book an Author Launches Book Donation to Rebuild Communities from Hurricane Milton
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
New York, November 14, 2024 — Book an Author announces the launch of Disaster Relief Book Bank, a nonprofit book donation initiative helping schools reclaim access to quality books and learning resources.
When disaster strikes, like Hurricane Milton, the loss of educational resources — books, libraries, and access to knowledge — can be profound, especially for young learners. The Disaster Relief Book Bank by Book an Author addresses this need directly, offering schools and libraries in affected communities immediate access to new books to replace what was lost and support recovery efforts. Book an Author’s program ensures that students regain access to books and enriching learning materials for educational opportunities and fostering a renewed spirit of learning.
“Disaster Relief Book Bank is about more than just books,” said Yobe Qiu, co-founder of Book an Author. “It’s about helping children and educators heal and regain a sense of stability through the power of reading. We believe books play a pivotal role in recovery, and we’re committed to providing these vital resources to communities in need.”
Program Highlights:
- Author and publisher partnerships: Working alongside authors, publishers, and organizations, Book an Author delivers high-quality literature directly to areas most in need.
- Customized donation match: Recognizing that each community has unique needs, Book an Author tailors selections to align with grade levels, local interests, and curriculum requirements quickly.
