Travel guidesPOP will be bringing books that we currently have in surplus, and which are not ideal donations for our current list of partnering organizations. We ask that you bring cash or check and become the new home for a few of these books. On average, every dollar in POP’s budget equates to $10 in books donated back into the community. All proceeds from the Rethink Ink Book Sale Fundraiser will go directly to supporting the POP Project’s mission.
