PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – It's a book drive like you've never seen before. It's the Local 10 My Future, My Choice Big Book Drive.
Local 10 has teamed up with Miami-Dade and Broward County Public Libraries, along with participating Barnes & Noble bookstores and Walgreens locations, to collect new books for kids who need them most.
On Friday, the One & Only Todd Tongen and Neki Mohan will board a yellow school bus, courtesy of A1A Transportation, to crisscross South Florida and pick up your book donations.
The Big Book Drive will run all day, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and stop at a neighborhood near you. The goal is to pack the bus full of books from bottom to top.
Local 10 is working with local programs and organizations that serve children, as well as Miami-Dade and Broward County public schools, to place the books directly in the hands of children who lack access to ownership of a brand new book.
The following locations are part of the My Future, My Choice Big Book Drive schedule. Make a note of the times, and let's all get on the same page to make a difference!
