Books for Blank
2012 ISAC Fall School Community Service Project

ISAC is excited to be hosting the “Books for Blank” community project during the 2012 Fall School of Instruction. ISAC encourages conference attendees to donate new children’s books to support the literacy programs at Blank Children’s Hospital in downtown Des Moines. Blank Children’s Hospital gives more than 16,000 books a year to its patients and families and is completely dedicated to meeting the unique healthcare needs of children.

There will be a book drop-off area near the ISAC registration area at Veterans Memorial Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center during the fall school. Donations of NEW, developmentally and culturally appropriate books will be accepted. The primary need is for books for children from toddlers to middle school, although books for older children are also needed. Please, no books about sensitive issues like divorce, abuse or death. Donations will also be accepted at the drop-off area near ISAC registration. If you have any questions about the Books for Blank community project, please contact ISAC at 515.244.7181 or speak with an ISAC staff members at the conference registration desk.

Donation results will be published in the Iowa County magazine. Thanks in advance for your participation and support! For more information about Blank Children’s Hospital, please visit http://www.blankchildrens.org/.

A HUGE thank you goes out to all Books for Blank donors - see below. The ISAC community service project was a huge success collecting over 200 new children’s books and over $300 in cash donations made at the conference. ISAC staff dropped off the books and a check to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines, and they were very thankful for the extremely generous donation. We hope to continue a similar tradition in the future. We apologize in advance if we missed any names.
