"Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long."
-- Leonard Bernstein

Books of Joy Print E-mail

Your book donations are an investment in the future of our community. Our work depends entirely on generous donors like you who believe that supporting local movements and grassroots organizations like Amicus Books can make a difference in the Yuba-Sutter Community. And now, through the Books of Joy project, your donations will go twice as far to advance the literary arts.

Books of Joy is a project designed to meet the needs of one local school district by providing books they need to build a school library and to supplement classroom curriculum. The list below is an outline of specific books they have requested.

This project is a win-win situation for the school district and for the local literary arts. Because the books have already been pre-selected to meet the school's needs, we have made arrangements to sell the books at a minimal cost. So, in the end, your donation is guaranteed to benefit our community as well as the young people who receive your doanted books, making your investment donation go twice as far.
