In this drive, AquaTerra volunteers set out to collect stories, not just pages. The Book Collection Drive invited people to donate gently used books—novels, textbooks, picture books, even dog-eared favorites. What came in was more than expected: memories, messages, and a whole lot of love. Each book brought in was sorted with care—some for school libraries, others for community reading corners. Volunteers smiled as they read handwritten notes inside covers: “This helped me dream,” “Pass it on,” or simply, “Enjoy.” The drive wasn't just about literacy—it was about unlocking imagination, sharing knowledge, and building bridges between readers. In every donated book, a new journey quietly began.
