Library Foundation of Jacksonville

Give a local child a book they can call their own! Now through March 21, Tenikka’s Books for Kids is collecting new (and like-new) books for kids and teens from birth to 18 years old. Donated books are awarded to young readers who track their reading and complete challenges during Summer Reading at Jacksonville Public Library each June and July.

Collecting everything from:
👶 picture books for babies
📖 books for new readers
📚 chapter books for teens

Donate at marked drop boxes inside any Jacksonville Public Library location. Short on time? Donate cash to the Fund at the Library Foundation of Jacksonville.

Shop local! Use this easy-to-shop Wish List at https://www.bit.ly/tenikkasmb or purchase and donate in-store at San Marco Bookstore, The BookMark, or Happy Medium Books Café.

Thank you, Baptist Health Jacksonville, Groundwork Jacksonville, and City of Jacksonville, Florida - Government for bringing this important Jacksonville Public Library program to the beautiful Emerald Trail!

You can find the newest Jacksonville StoryWalk® along the LaVilla Link of the Emerald Trail (near the Butterfly Garden) on Johnson Street, between W. Duval Street and W. Church Streets.

Presented by Baptist Health Jacksonville, in collaboration with the Library Foundation of Jacksonville and Groundwork Jacksonville, this StoryWalk® features the book "Flower Garden" by Eve Bunting.

If you've never seen one, a StoryWalk® is a series of mounted posts, found on walking trails and in public parks, featuring pages from a children’s picture book.
