Book It Forward Children's Book Drive 2023

There is still time to donate! The UMSON lobby is one of several drop-off locations. Pre-K picture books are especially needed as are books for babies and elementary school students.


The Book It Forward 2023 children’s book drive began in March and continues until May 31.

As of May 2, we had collected 460 books in the following reading levels:

  • Babies: 100
  • Pre-K: 50
  • Elementary: 201
  • Middle/High: 109

We are especially in need of pre-K picture books. Books for babies and elementary school students are beneficial, too, as many of our donation locations are day care centers.

You can find Book It Forward donation bins at the Health Sciences and Human Services Library, the SMC Campus Center, the School of Nursing, the Saratoga Building, and the University of Maryalnd BioPark. Thank you for your support!

Students, faculty, and staff, let your voice be heard!
