The kids at UNC Hospitals Chapel Hill Pediatric Oncology Clinic benefit from reading books to help them escape from boredom, being scared and feeling bad. We are providing them with books they can read in the clinic or take home and we could use your help. We are collecting tax deductable donations and new or gently used children's book for ages preschool to early teens. We are also collecting preschool Spanish/English books.

UNC Libraries 2014 Book Drive
The UNC Chapel Hill 2014 book drive for Karl's Books was hugely successful. 1665 books were collected! The project is run by the Library Diversity Programming and Education Committee and this is their blog entry http://blogs.lib.unc.edu/news/index.php/2014/12/1665-books-for-pediatric-cancer-patients-thanks-to-you/. I want to send these book fairies a special thanks for all of their work and this year it also involved moving the books to storage. I know the children and their families will enjoy many moments of escaping into these treasured books. And thanks to everyone who donated these books. Your generosity is wide reaching and will help Karl's Books to continue another year.
Love, Kathy, Book Fairy
