Giving Tuesday Llama Pajama Party

Books Around the Corner 40 NW 2nd Street, Gresham, OR, United States

The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is GIVING TUESDAY and we're partnering with Penguin Random House as we bring you a special pajama party story time! Come on down in your cozy PJs and listen to some stories! Can't come to the storytime? You can still help! Drop off a new pair of PJs for children in need and PRH will donate books for every pair of PJs we collect. This is such a great program and is a nice kick off to the gift giving season. Purchase a new book at our shop to donate and we will match it. These books will be donated to local non-profits, SnowCap, My Father's House, and Gresham Reads!
