Temple Emanu-El Book Drive for William L. Cobb Elementary School

Help kick off the new partnership between JCL, Temple Emanu-El and Cobb Elementary School by donating to the Z'man Likro Book Drive and place much-needed books into the hands of Cobb students. Cobb recently cleaned out their school library to get rid of old, inappropriate books, and they're in great need of quality children's books to inspire their students.

It's easy to donate! Please read ALL of the following instructions:

1. Visit the link below to purchase books from Cobb's wishlist on the Books Inc. website.
2. When you check out, list Temple Emanu-El Book Drive as "Address 1" under shipping information.
3. Check the In-Store Pick Up option for delivery. The books will be held for Temple Emanu-El at the Laurel Village Store.

You will receive a 15% discount on your book drive purchase which will not be reflected in your check-out price.

Chanukah Book Drive 2003

Every year JCL sponsors a Chanukah Book Drive. This drive enables people to donate new children's books in the name of a friend or family member. JCL sends the honorees holiday cards acknowledging the gift and all books are given to children and schools. Monetary contributions are used to purchase additional books. This past year, The JCL Chanukah Book Drive was a huge success! Surpassing all of our expectations, the Bay Area JCL collected almost 1,000 brand new books and over $4,000 in cash donations which was used to purchase new books. It is clear that our volunteers and the community appreciate the dire need for new books in our public schools, and our sites were overjoyed to receive them.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to JCL’s Chanukah Book Drive 2003!
