2. Research the different literacy partners http://www.betterworldbooks.com/Info-Literacy-Partners-m-41.aspx
3. Contact your school and/or local college bookstores to set your book drive drop off stations
4. Contact Better World Books at reusefirst@betterworldbooks.com
   
5. Sign up to start receiving all book drive materials.
6. Advertise your book drive; Fliers, Chalking on sidewalks, Writing on the chalkboards in the classrooms, put an ad in your schools newspaper, Leave table tents, etc.
7. Check bins once a day to collect books already donated. If leaving bins outside, place a trash bag at the bottom of the box, so that books will not get ruin from weather or place rocks so that the box will not blow away from wind.
8. Store books either in a storage unit or your apartment. This provides security of all books.
9. Host a packing party. While sorting the boxes, having some kind of entertainment makes the process go faster.
10. Scan books to sort what books are acceptable, $1 per Per scanned book ($1.25 per acceptable book is only if the club collects more than 1,000 acceptable books).
11. Schedule a pickup wherever the boxes are located.
12. Celebrate! Checks are sent out to the clubs, bi-annually.
