Our kids are moving out and going to college for higher education. We've given several books to Pleasanton library. However, we are not sure where those go from there. If there ia a way to donate books to this cause, can someone post it here? We have a lot more books in our house we can giveaway.

I was just going through our children's books to give away. I am also going through my books and deciding which to give away. I would really like to donate them to this cause. Please post how I can do this.
Thank you

The San Ramon Valley Genealogical Society is also gathering genealogy related books and donations for the Paradise Genealogical Society (PGS) from our members and the general public in an attempt to help them recover from the fire. PGS lost everything, their building, library and equipment and are now starting from scratch to rebuild.
Anyone interested to helping this organization can contact them through their president Kathy, at klb95928@gmail.com.
