Everyone knows that April 22 is widely celebrated as the official Earth Day. All year 'round we are celebrating our love of the Earth and our environment. According to the ticker on this website, Bookmans has purchased over 22 million pieces of merchandise! That means that every single piece was re-used and we kept it from being thrown away.

During the month of April you can join your community in building something that lasts. Our Phoenix and Mesa locations are each hosting a book drive. Our Phoenix location is working with local blogger, Laura of the blog My Dear Trash to host a book drive that will benefit the Friends of the Phoenix Public Library. By donating your used books, dvds, and cds, you are helping our community to build and support the best library system possible.

Our Mesa location is collecting books, educational multi-media, magazines and materials in all languages to assist the Public Allies Program. They are working hard to build a library for the Aim High Institute. Their motto “Aim High, Share Knowledge, and Donate Books!” definitely sounds like a fantastic motivating slogan.

In the end we can keep these materials out of landfills and benefit our communities.
