Conclave New/Used Book Drive
A New and Used Book Collection Drive benefiting U.S. Military servicemen overseas will take place at Conclave.
Conclave will be collecting new and used FICTION PAPERBACKS AND HARDCOVER BOOKS from its membership, to be shipped to select destinations including Iraq, Afghanistan, Navy ships in the Gulf and hospitals treating recovering wounded. It is hoped that the donated materials can provide needed entertainment and comfort for those servicemen who are keeping the peace or on the mend from action in the Middle East.
Organizers of the Book Drive at Conclave are now readying logistical support for this consignment of books, which attendees will donate through Oct 13 2007 at the convention, and will be collected by dedicated volunteers helping to run Conclave. Special prizes will be raffled off to individuals who bring donations, whether they are from their personal collections or books purchased onsite at Conclave’s Book Merchandise area.
There are a small number of guidelines to follow for book donations:
FICTION, Any Genre except Romance or Poetry.
HARDCOVER or SOFT COVER, no ‘stripped’ (coverless) books
PROSE, GRAPHIC NOVELS, and COMICS collections, bound or bundled, avoid religious themes please.
NEW or Better-condition USED Books. No extreme wear, water damage or missing pages.
Details covering these guidelines and links to a journal of this Book Drive’s progress will be available at Conclave’s website http://www.conclavesf.org
