We Run and Write for a Cause

​The Book Tree represents a passion for reading and the hope for worldwide literacy. We collect new and gently used children's and adult books each year to donate to a local school or a national literacy organization.

In addition to donating books, we will also accept online monetary donations on their behalf.
