The Farmers Branch Library Board voted on Oct. 26 to move forward with a community book-drive kickoff and accompanying scavenger hunt slated to begin Dec. 6, 2023, with collections running through about Dec. 20.
Trustee Stacy moved to approve the scavenger-hunt card format, the Dec. 6 kickoff and a sorting schedule; David seconded the motion and members approved it by voice vote. The program includes a scavenger card that encourages participants to find items in the library, bring a book to donate and exchange a completed card for hot chocolate at the kickoff event.
Board members discussed logistics and timing: they agreed to collect donations until roughly Dec. 20, with sorting sessions planned on Dec. 13 and Dec. 20 (or Dec. 21 for transport); board volunteers will sort donations in shifts so fewer than a quorum are present at any one sorting session. The board noted the recipient contact (Vince) is confirming specific book needs at the hospital and that donated board books will include an English/Spanish split under the Texas Book Festival grant planning.
What'9s next: staff will finalize promotional language for the scavenger cards and confirm sorting shifts and delivery dates to the hospital partner.
