Contact Organizer

Details

Operation Paperback began in 1999 and has since shipped 2.2 million donated and used books to over 30 locations overseas. In addition to overseas locations, Operation Paperback provides books to wounded warrior programs and veterans hospitals located within the United States, as well as USO centers at US Airport transit points. In 2012, we also added a new program that offers a free shipment of books to any military family. Also includes supporting Chaplains as they counsel troops, both before redeployment and after reunification, with a variety of specifically-requested titles. They have 19,000+ volunteers from all 50 states. These individual citizens, American families and community groups form a network of shippers that send around 15,000 books per month.
