A Good Book Drive: Throwback Thursday with Cory Ashworth

It’s happened to you, too. You pick up a book from childhood and suddenly your mind is awash with memories as you stare off into space reminiscing about your childhood with a foolish grin adorning your face.

It’s happened to you, too. You pick up a book from childhood and suddenly your mind is awash with memories as you stare off into space reminiscing about your childhood with a foolish grin adorning your face. Since A Good Book Drive is all about readers past paving the road for readers of the future, we just couldn’t let a Throwback Thursday slip by without paying homage to our story-loving roots.

Here is a photo of one of the founders of A Good Book Drive, Cory Ashworth (pictured right). Keep this image in your head as you listen to this vintage rendition of The Berenstain Bears and The Spooky Old Tree circa 1982, live from the Ashworth living room.

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. Running through the month of November, A Good Book Drive will be inspiring Vancouverites to purchase a new copy of their favorite kids’ book and deliver it to set locations throughout the city. At these drop off locations you can personalize your donation with a special bookplate, sharing the story of why that book is special to you. All books will be donated to this year’s book drive recipient, One to One: A Children's Literacy Program. Share your favourite stories with A Good Book Drive on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
