Lemuria is proud to support the Annual Jackson Public School Summer Reading Book Drive–Pages of Promise.

Lemuria has been working hard the past year to instill a love of reading in our young people by setting up book clubs, bringing children’s authors directly to schools, and now we’re gearing up to help area schools and parents with summer reading lists.

It is widely known that reading is one ability that affects every part of our lives. We empower our children by giving them access to books and even further by sitting down with them to read.

Pictured Below: The enthusiasm of these students at last year’s Summer Reading Press Conference held at the Eudora Welty Library was amazing!

 

United Way & JPS have set of a goal of collecting 4,000 books for the JPS summer reading list. These books will then be collected and donated to Jackson-Hinds Public Libraries so that all JPS students have easy access to summer reading books.

When you purchase a book for donation, it comes with a variety of summer reading activities and workshops at our local libraries. And having a library full of kids in the summer is certainly a “win” for the Jackson-Hinds Public Library System.

Here’s how it works:

When you buy books for the JPS  drive at Lemuria, you will receive a 20% discount on those books. We will then add them to our collection for donation to the Jackson-Hinds Public Library System.

You can purchase books for donation two ways:

1. Stop by the store and let one of our booksellers help you make a selection.

2. Give us a call and we can set up an order for you: 601.366.7619.

We accept donations of one single book to a classroom set of books. For example, you could donate enough copies of Brown Bear, Brown Bear for a classroom of kindergartners or a whole set of K-12 books.

All of us at Lemuria couldn’t be happier to reinforce the habit of reading for the young people of Jackson. We encourage all Jacksonians to read books on the summer reading list, engage in dialogue and encourage students to read the books.

Be a partner with United Way, JPS and Lemuria and help us reach our goal of 4,000 books!
