HEY THERE, are you looking for a way to support children in Detroit?
Bring your gently used children’s books to Bookfest 2025!
Detroit Bookfest and Birdie’s Bookmobile request that Detroit Bookfest attendees bring new and gently used children’s books with them to Detroit Bookfest 2025.
There will be 4 brightly-colored collection bins, strategically placed at major entry points to the event to accept your donations. They are identified by pale-orange locations B1, B2, B3, and B4 on the 2025 Vendor Map. You can find Birdie herself, and her Bookmobile, at location T4 in DTE Plaza on the west side of Shed 5.
We have set a goal of collecting 2,000 donated children’s books for kids in need to help promote literacy and reading in Detroit.
