Bouquets for Books
November 9 - 14, 2009
The return of "Bouquets for Books" coincides with a difficult time for area public libraries, which are grappling with steep cuts in state funding.
From Nov. 9 to 14, Connells Maple Lee Flowers & Gifts will collect new children's books for Bexley Public Library, Southwest Public Libraries and Worthington Libraries.
In its first three years, Bouquets for Books has collected hundreds of new books for the libraries.
"These tough economic times are precisely when our libraries - with all of the books and other resources they provide at no cost - demonstrate their greatest value," said Greg Royer, president of Connells Maple Lee. "I hope our customers can do what's within their means to donate lots and lots of new books to their local libraries."
Connells Maple Lee customers will receive a free bouquet for each new children's book they donate. Bouquets are limited to three per family per visit, while supplies last. Used books will not be accepted.
