“To gift a book is to introduce a child to their future favorite hero. Sometimes, that friendship lasts forever,” says Petya Kokudeva, writer, traveler, and ambassador of the Donate Books to a Library Campaign.
This Giving Tuesday, December 3, you have the chance to spark lifelong friendships between readers and stories by donating books to libraries in small towns across Bulgaria.
In places where access to new books is rare, your donation can make all the difference. Picture a child captivated by a fairytale or an adult inspired by fresh ideas. Every book you donate creates a ripple of possibility. As campaign ambassador and beloved writer Zdravka Evtimova says:
“A person who reads gains more courage, pride, and dignity. Good literature is, in essence, a lesson in dignity and honor.”
From 10 am to 5 pm on Tuesday, December 3, bring your books to the Central Market Hall, Sofia, and give someone the chance to explore new worlds. Suitable donations include:
- New or gently used books (published within the last 10 years).
- Children’s and adult literature, educational games, encyclopedias, and practical guides.
Through her many journeys, Petya Kokudeva has found that kindness and generosity weave the most enduring bonds. This Giving Tuesday, let’s prove her right.
