This holiday season, put your book-buying money where your heart is — and DONATE SOME BOOKS to the LOWER EAST SIDE GIRLS CLUB. It’s super easy. Link below! I have long been a book fairy godmother of sorts to the amazing, amazing Lower East Side Girls Club: girlsclub.org. They have a zillion programs that serve the girls and families of NYC’s lower east side — including music production, art, job skills, crafts, cooking, art, travel, science education (including a planetarium), gardening, dance, and more. Now they have opened a new Center for Wellbeing that offers self- and community care for people of all genders. And they need books for the Center’s library. They have created a beautiful wish list of nourishing titles and your purchase will support indie booksellers at bookshop.org. Just pick the books you want to send, and the check-out will send the books to the club! Bonus: on the site you can choose your favorite indie bookshop to get the shopping credit, near the top of the page. https://bookshop.org/wishlists/82d583b35662e32ad563c6129e4ac8276ddc4601 The photo is of Scarlett Johansson, from an article in Vogue about an event she hosted that was a fundraiser for the Girls Club.
