Position Summary:  The Book Bounce Coordinator will communicate with students and parents about book donation and arrange Book Bounce Day, typically near the end of the year.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Work with PTA President to put out asks via email, grade reps, teachers, social media, school message board for families to donate used books for ages 6-12 and sturdy plastic/reusable bags for the kids during a certain timeframe of your choosing (Be sure to specify no baby/preschool books!)

• Pick a week to collect books before school and/or after school. Can use portable P4 to store the books during the collection week. Sort books by age group.

• Pick a day to host the book bounce (confirm that this is not during testing or field trips/other events).

• Set up by portable P4 with some tables for kids to come at recess. Set limits on the first round based on donation amount. At the second recess, allow kids to take what they want.

• Only put out books for older kids at their recesses for first round so that little kids don't end up with most of the big kid books.

Time Commitment: End of May/Beginning of June: 1 full school day plus 5 days (~20 minutes each) plus 2-3 additional hours to sort the books.
