Book Drive

Leander Public Arts and Culture is partnering with Leander ISD Educational Excellence Foundation to host a book drive!

Swing by the LEEF booth to drop off your gently used or new book donations. LEEF has a high need for Pre-K through Kinder level reading and Spanish books.

These donations help LEEF get books into the hands of students and the community. You can help meet the need next school year by bringing books to the event or ordering from LEEF’s Amazon Wishlist: https://bit.ly/LEEFWishlist
