Berks County Readers Kid’s Book Share Boxes

This community project is made possible by our Program Partners

This re-purpose project of the old Real Estate Weekly Boxes into Children's Book Share Boxes would not have been possible without the love & support from our sponsors, location hosts, and our families who graciously donated their loved books! This program takes a village of love & collaboration!

Thanks to our amazing sponsors and donors, we are able to ensure that our local kids have plenty of books to enjoy! You will find our Book Share Boxes in Hamburg, Morgantown, Honey Brook, Antidam, Exeter, Birdsboro, Douglasville, Wyomissing, West Lawn, West Reading, Heidelberg, Reading, Temple, Sinking Spring, and Shillington!

Keep scrolling for a list of locations.

Please support our business sponsors as much as possible! Support Local. Buy Local. Do It Local!

Each of our Book Share Boxes have side decals that feature quotes from local kids about reading books. If your child would like to be featured, please complete the form in the button below.

Our Program is going through a transition! It will now fall under the Raisin Kindness Program. We are looking for a couple new sponsors to help us update the decals, clean out the boxes, and repair those that need some fixing!

Our Original Program Sponsors included:

Redner’s, Grove Dental, Goodlife Financial, Empire Surplus Home Center, SAH Security, Body Zone, Gage Personnel, Riverfront Credit Union, & Sal’s Landscaping!

Our Original Individual Location Sponsors included:

Lisa Eshelman, Remax Realtor, Darren Kostival, Realtor, Remax of Reading, Body Zone , Elite Leadership Martial Arts, Deb & Patrick Hassler, Realtor, Keller Williams Platinum Realty, Tyler Miller Team, Keller Williams Platinum Realty, UGI, and Katie Broskey Realtor. (More to come!)

We also need to thank MADJ MARKETING and Ben Ireland (RTC Direct Printing) for their graphic designs & printing support; as well as the Reading-Berks Realtors Association for the old Real Estate Weekly box donations!

We need Kid Book Donations!

We are ALWAYS in need of book donations to keep these boxes full. You can donate books directly into boxes! (See list above for locations to find the one closest to you!)

NOTE: The Works - tends to run out often - so anytime you can pop some books in those we greatly appreciate it!

A big thank you to all of the amazing families who graciously went through their children’s book collection to donate books that they have outgrown. (Giving these books a new life and allowing them to put smiles on the faces of families across Berks!)

We are always restocking the Book Share boxes! If you happen to visit a Book Share Box that needs immediate restocking, please send an email to heather@doitlocalberks.com
