We are still looking for books! If you need a good time to drop off - please DM us! Our hours are different this week with the holiday!

We have volunteered to be a “drop spot” for the Miss Illinois/Miss Iowa Youth community book drive!

We will have a box in our elevator lobby (closest entrance to the parking lot) from now until July 6th to donate new or gently used children’s & young adult books.

All books collected will be donated throughout the Iowa & Illinois community to share the love of reading to as many children as we can!

Our elevator lobby is open Monday evenings from about 4 PM until 7 PM, as well as weekends during events. If you would like to DM us to get a better look on when to drop off - that’s perfect too! We will let staff know when to expect you so we can ensure the door is unlocked.

If you have books you would like to donate - but do not have the time or means to visit L&A - please reach out - my daughter and I would be happy to come & collect them!
