A Good Book Drive: Rebecca Slaven

A Good Book Drive has teamed up with a great group of independent Vancouver retailers that will each house a Good Book Box. Here you can drop off your favorite kids book and personalize your donation with a special bookplate, sharing the story of why that book is special to you.

		A Good Book Drive is an annual book drive to bring stories to a new generation of readers, and support kids in need of new books.
