There’s still time to make a difference for our Club’s spring book drive!  On Saturday, May 11th (10 AM - 4 PM), we will once again accept donations of books at our collection site, First Baptist Church of West Hartford (90 North Main Street, West Hartford).  Donated books will be contributed toward the Likoni Library Project, directed by Fulbright Scholar Nadja Umlauf ’22 and organized last year through Dwight Hall.  The Likoni Library Project strives to build mobile libraries for students in Kenya, and has already made a difference for thousands of students.  Click here to read more about the Likoni Library Project and Nadja’s work in support of it!

Donating your books is fast and easy!  Just drop-off or mail your books to the collection site, First Baptist Church of West Hartford, 90 North Main Street, West Hartford, CT 06107 on Saturday, May 11th, from 10 AM - 4 PM.  In the bag or box you use for drop-off or mailing, please include a note with your name and e-mail address so we can acknowledge your donation.  If mailing books, please address them “Attn: Yale Club of Hartford Book Drive”, and consider asking your Post Office about strongly-discounted Media Mail service for books.

Will you be dropping-off books on May 11th?  Fill out this quick form (takes less than 1 minute!) so we can make sure we have the right number of volunteers at our collection site at the right times. (Don’t worry, your RSVP is non-binding!)  And remember, you can also buy books from our book drive registry now (no need to drop-off or mail-in books!), and donate online toward the cost of shipping books for our book drive.

Questions?  Just e-mail hartford.yale.club@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to send you an answer soon after!
