| - Whether you're a big ol' group or a single peep looking to give back, Spread The Word has something for you to do. The organization works to get books to children within Southern Nevada's at-risk, low income communities and to promote literacy. How do you help? By cleaning donated books! You may wonder why a book needs cleaning, but trust me, a book can get quite dirty.
During Yelp Helps I was searching for organizations that could host a group of volunteers, and Spread The Word was eager to organize a Book Cleaning Party for 25-30 volunteers. The process was simple; they were open to a weekend morning, and the volunteer day was fun. Perusing children's books is unexpectedly entertaining and at times educational. For example, I learned all about wildlife scat. Who knew that the poop of animals varies according to the season? Amazing.
If you're an individual, they host weekly book cleanings, just give them a call to find out when and where.
They are also in need of books, so if you have some children's books you are looking to donate or are up for hosting a book drive, this is a spot that could use the donations!
Now, go Yelp help!
