Everyone in the community is encouraged to donate new or gently-used books for preschool through junior high students. The books go to hundreds of needy families in the Northwest suburbs. They also will be used for a summer reading program co-sponsored by Weber Grill and WACO.

The Alfred Campanelli YMCA at 300 W. Wise Road in Schaumburg is only one of 22 drop-off sites in the area. For a complete list of book donation sites, go to waco4kids.org.
