We’ve had a busy few months at Big House Books! We sent out over 630 books in May and a whopping 1,450 books in the month of June!
We had six groups host their own book packing parties. Thank you to Jackson Women for Good, HOBY Leadership group, Parkway Hills UMC, MS Votes, Millsaps Summer Orientation group, and the Institute of Southern Jewish Life for helping us get caught up on requests. Special thanks to BHB Board member Holly Smith for hosting our Juneteenth Day of Service BPP as well.
If you’d like to help us replenish our shelves, drop off your book donations at 133 Millsaps Ave., Jackson. We are there every Thursday from 5-7 p.m. to pack books and collect donations. **Note: Books must be paperback only and in good condition.
Current needs are: Bibles/Bible studies/Devotionals, Activity Books (word searches, crosswords, sudoku), Dictionaries, Thesauruses, Computer/IT, Skills & Trade (electrical, plumbing, automotive, etc.), Westerns, Fantasy, Vampire Romance, Popular Authors: Lisa Jackson, James Patterson, John Grisham, Stephen King, Greg Iles, Dean Koontz.
