Hi I'm looking to hold a book drive and I read that Mississippi was having a lot of issues with literacy and school funding, and I wanted to find a good recipient for children's books. I'd like to help as many people as possible, so if anyone knows of any towns or schools that would be in strong need of books, or of any other sort of need, please reply.

Please come to eupora. My nieces and nephews (especially the newphews) are barely literate. One I would say is functionally illiterate. BTW this might also be useful info for your book drive: male literacy is far below female in this place; hold the vampire novels!

"Hi I'm looking to hold a book drive"

Book drives are generally held by organizations. How can you as an individual hold a book drive? Seems undoable.

Schools in poor rural Mississippi counties can use more books for sure - but not just any donated book. Contact the rural schools and ask them what sorts of books they need, if you are really serious.
