Archmere Academy Used Book Drive Nets 400+ Children’s Books

Since 2002, Success Won’t Wait’s literacy projects have been powered by book donations from many sources, from publishing firms, book stores, and authors, to individuals clearing their bookshelves. But consistently, our most impactful donations come from enterprising individuals who host targeted book drives through their churches, businesses, and schools.   

A perfect example? Archmere Academy high school senior Kayla Anzilotti!

After learning about Success Won’t Wait and our mission to eradicate illiteracy, Kayla organized a schoolwide Children’s Used Book Drive. The 400+ books she collected range from pre-K to high school and will be used for much-needed programs (such as the nearby Claymont Community Center Little Free Library) and new literacy initiatives throughout the tri-state region.

Many thanks to Kayla for organizing this book drive and to the Archmere Academy students who participated!
