"John and I both have such a good time picking out all these books.  We're like kids turned loose in a candy shop. And we can't bear the thought of kids with no books to read. It was especially fun to pick up some of the biographies and the classics.  Believe me, it is OUR pleasure." -- MaryZ

1. You may purchase a Barnes and Noble gift certificate. It's probably best to send a gift card that can be used in a physical store so that the recipients don't have to pay for online shipping when they purchase books. See below for more information on gift cards.
   OR
   
2. Purchase a book(s) and send it to one of the addresses below --depending on the age focus for the book. If you want ideas for books to donate, review lists of recommended books for younger and older children and/or talk about books you know children like, in our discussion. It is okay to send books not on the lists.
3. Post a message in the NACBP discussion with the name of the book(s) and author(s) and to which group you sent the book(s) so we'll know what books are being sent and we can keep a list and count of our progress. Since there are so many children, multiple copies of books are fine but we don't want everyone to send the same book to the same group!

Barnes and Noble Gift Card information
Both the Blackfeet Early Childhood Center and the Blackfeet Dormitory, would love to receive gift cards. There is a Barnes and Noble in Great Falls, MT and they will take the cards there to select the books. You can go online and have the cards shipped directly to them. Shipping is $.95 for the cards. You don't need to put phone numbers in for either location. Just set yourself up for the billing location and each of them for the shipping on two separate orders.

Be sure to put your name and address on the gift card in the narrative.

Let us know if you have shipped cards out so we can add you to our list and we'll ask our contacts to let us know what books they purchase with gift cards.


Make a difference in the lives of prisoners in one of several prison systems. One of the prison librarians has said that "often when prisons get books they are old, cast off and battered books. Books donated by SeniorNet are in new condition and say volumes to the inmates that THEY are not just cast offs, too."
