Now Collecting Books!
The Lyndale Neighborhood Association is now collecting like-new and gently used fiction, non-fiction and children’s books. We are specifically interested in books written in a language other than English or written with a diverse, multicultural lens.
We are not accepting: textbooks, encyclopedias, magazines or newspapers. This is a family-friendly event, so please do not bring explicit or x-rated books.
