The Maryland Book Bank will be distributing the books to children who have no books of their own. The proceeds from the sale of adult books help support their children’s program. Since its inception, the Book Bank has collected and distributed almost a million books to under-resourced children, teachers, caregivers, and families in the Maryland community.

The Maryland Book Bank accepts ALL KINDS of books!

–board books
–picture books
–chapter books
–young adult
–adult fiction and non-fiction

They DO NOT accept CDs, DVDs, encyclopedia sets, magazines, textbooks older than 5 years old and books that are damaged or moldy.

Visit the Potomac Pizza Potomac Village location on Thursday January 20th.  You can order online or in-person; just mention Wayside spirit night when you order in-person or select the Potomac option when ordering online, and a percentage of the proceeds will go to the Wayside PTA!  Carry out or dine-in only.
