How do I become a Booksplorer?
Create a Gift Registry with us. Pick out your favorite books and register for two of each title. Let your guests know on your birthday party invitation that you are registered at Silly Dilly Tot Spot for Books and that you are on your way to becoming a Booksplorer! Send a copy of your invitation to us folks at the Silly Dilly Tot Spot zoo.
What happens next?
When your guests purchase your books off of your Registry, Silly Dilly Tot Spot will gift wrap your book and send the second book unwrapped to the guest. At your party, you will receive your gifts and, hopefully, a nice stack of unwrapped books for Bess the Book Bus.
Since we have received an invitation to your party, Bess the Book Bus will come to your party, pick up your donated books, and make you an honorary Booksplorer! You will receive a Booksplorer shirt from Bess the Bus, and you will receive a Booksplorer Birthday gift from us at Silly Dilly Tot Spot!
As a Booksplorer, who will I be helping?
Your gift of books to Bess the Book Bus will find its way to the recipients of the Book Bus. Bess the Book Bus distributes books to kids in 25 Head Start programs, The Spring, Metropolitan Ministries, Redland Christian Migrant Association, and three school libraries that do not have enough books to serve the kids who are dependent on these libraries.
On your birthday, give the gift of reading to yourself and to other kids.
