Operation Wish Book is a non-profit organization that was started more than 30 years ago by a group of retired Idaho teachers with the goal of getting new books into the hands of children. Albertsons Library has been a proud supporter of Operation Wish Book since 1994. We have collected over 4,000 new books to help spread literacy throughout the Treasure Valley.
We are excited to be collecting donations again for 2024 and we need your help! We would like to challenge our campus community to help us reach our goal of collecting 800 books to donate to Operation Wish Book. Donated books should be new or unwrapped and may be paperbacks, hardbacks, or board books geared toward readers ages 0-18.
Join Albertsons Library in making a difference to hundreds of children by donating a new book today! Book donations may be dropped off on the first floor of Albertsons Library from November 1 – December 13, 2024. Please contact Pam Kindelberger (208-426-3827) or Kristi Schirrmacher (208-426-3622) with any questions or monetary donations.
