Bradford Publishing Hosts Book Drive for Louisiana Libraries

"Bradford Publishing is proud to be a part of the Colorado book community. Books provide so much: education, entertainment, comfort and hope," says William "Brad" Bradford, fourth-generation company owner. "And community libraries in particular are a wonderful resource for everyone. So many in the Louisiana communities have lost so much already; they shouldn't have to lose their libraries, too."

"We're so appreciative that people are helping from all over the country," adds Hamilton. "Everything counts."

The libraries are in need of gently used books including fiction, non-fiction published in the last five years, and audio books. The libraries can't accept professional legal, medical, technical or scientific books, or old encyclopedias, almanacs, or textbooks.

Please consider the physical condition of the book before donating:

-- Binding must be intact

-- Cover should not be torn

-- Spine should not be frayed

-- Pages not torn or missing

-- Not written in, underlined or highlighted

-- No mold, dirt, food, or water damage

Bradford Publishing will accept books at its retail location at 1743 Wazee Street in downtown Denver beginning on Fat Tuesday when donors will be treated to Mardi Gras beads as well as complimentary coffee donated by Common Grounds and other refreshments. Bradford will continue to accept books through Friday, March 3. Bradford will also accept national bookstore gift cards as well as monetary donations for the association. Bradford's retail store opens at 8:00 a.m. and will extend hours until 7:00 p.m. from Tuesday, February 28, through Thursday, March 2.

Donors can also donate books at Tattered Cover LoDo, Tattered Cover Cherry Creek or Tattered Cover Highlands Ranch (though you have to donate at Bradford to get the beads and other goodies).

Founded in 1881, Bradford Publishing is Colorado's oldest and most trusted publisher of legal information and forms, software, and law books.
