Every year, Pen Pal PR partners with local bookstores to collect gently used children’s books and send them to kids during the holiday season. This year, we’re inviting you to join us! You can participate by donating your gently used children’s books (if you’re local) or by using the donation link below to help cover the costs of packaging and shipping these books.

Child literacy is deeply important to us, and sharing the joy of reading is a core part of our platform. Our own Pen Pal family celebrates Jólabókaflóð, the Icelandic tradition of gifting books and reading together on Christmas Eve with hot chocolate and cozy time to slow down and savor the season, and we hope to help more children experience that same magic.
