Throughout the month of November, we will be collecting book donations for the KU Memory Clinic's Book Drive. These will be used to stock the clinic's library and given to families and caregivers in need. You can view their preferred book list HERE. If you have any of these titles you are no longer needing, you can bring us gently used books. Or you can order a new book to be donated, see our list of available titles below. We have discounted these titles 10% off for the month of November. You can add books to your cart, and when you check out, just select the in-store pickup option and add a note in the Customer Comments section telling us which book(s) on your order you'd like to donate, and we will get them to the Memory Clinic for you!
