Book drive name and plan |
|
The name selected for the book drive is, Book Buy Book, filling the Library with Books . This will be the focus for the Salmon Days parade.
Other suggestions were:
- "Adopt a Book" [ I kid you not, this was the first response I got ;-) But nobody else suggested it.]
- Dedicate a Document Drive (A living monument of your generosity)
- Bring a Book to Life Program (Life saving credits given)
- From Self to Shelf Program (a selfless gift to make less shelf without books in the new library)
- Pick a Title and Tickle a Tyke - (for those who want to enhance the children's or youth reading library).
- Issaquah Book Spawn Program - (Tag your catch for the best redd books at the biblio-hatchery.)
- The Biblio-pile you donate today plies the bibliophile for another day. (An outcome-certain investment program for building the future).

- "Be an Issaquah Bookie"
- "Growing your Library." [This one includes an entire campaign in a paragraph:
- Get a dead tree, or huge branch, and remove all the leaves, and plant it in a big container in a prominent spot in the Library. Make paper leaves (children could do this; involve the schools) and on each leave write the name and author of one book desired for the collection. Advertise extensively - newspaper, radio, posters made by school kids and put in the windows of local businesses) that this is going on for a month or so, then have an Open House at the Library to celebrate the COMMUNITY'S success in growing a library. (Any left-over leaves could be sold at the Open House, and the buyer of the last leaf could be given a dinner for two, or theater tickets, or something. That would ensure that the last buyer would probably be purchasing 10 or 20 books! Just to make sure of being the last!
