North Island Credit Union launches book drive for Title 1 Schools

By SDCN Staff

San Diego, CA–For the fourth year, North Island Credit Union has launched a book drive to help ensure children in low-income households have access to books outside the classroom. 

The book drive is being conducted with ABC 10News as part of its “Storytime” childhood literacy campaign.

Through August 31, North Island Credit Union encourages community members to drop off new books to any of its branch locations in San Diego County. Donated books should be new and appropriate for kindergarten through elementary school students. All books will be given to students attending Title 1 schools in San Diego County.

“We’re excited to launch this annual book drive as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting education in our communities,” said North Island Credit Union President/CEO Steve O’Connell. “Access to books can spark a lifelong love of learning, and we’re proud to help put books directly into the hands of our local students. We invite our members and neighbors to join us in this effort—every book donated can make a meaningful difference in a child’s life.”

Credit union branch drop-off locations include:

7968 El Cajon Blvd, La Mesa

2550 Fifth Ave, San Diego

9119 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego

9420 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego

Naval Air Base, Saufley St Bldg. 318, San Diego

10549 Scripps Poway Pkwy, San Diego

45 N. Broadway, Chula Vista

5898 Copley Dr, San Diego

1101 Palm Ave, Imperial Beach

884 Eastlake Pkwy, Chula Vista

301 N. Magnolia Ave, El Cajon

1230 Auto Park Way, Escondido

Monetary donations are also accepted to purchase books for students in need. 

“Storytime” is a partnership between North Island Credit Union and ABC 10News to promote child literacy. With the help of the San Diego Council on Literacy, monthly “mini” book fairs are held in Title 1 schools across San Diego, providing free books to students in underserved communities to encourage reading outside the classroom. 

The E.W. Scripps Company, which includes KGTV ABC10, sponsors the annual “If You Give a Child a Book…” childhood literacy campaign, in collaboration with the Scripps Howard Fund, members of the Scripps family, and the communities it serves. Since its inception in 2016, the campaign has successfully distributed over 1,000,000 books.
