As part of our newly formed partnership with Barnes and Noble, HMESF will receive a percentage of proceeds from the sales that are generated by clicking on the Barnes and Noble link to make a purchase. Barnes and Noble will be a part of future HMESF events either through special offers or on-site book fairs.
The partnership allows HMESF to better serve the needs of our organizations by giving the gift of reading. Barnes & Noble is a company driven by the principle that bookselling is important work. They believe a great bookstore is also a reflection of its community. They pioneered the concept of a retail store as a community center, and annually host more than 100,000 community events nationwide. Their events enrich the minds of readers of all ages, and raise funds for local schools and literary and cultural organizations. Examples include our annual Summer Reading Program, during which over 1 million books are given away to children; Holiday Book Drive, which invites customers and booksellers to donate books to local charities, and Bookfairs, which are fundraising events for schools and nonprofits.
It's easy! Buy books from Barnes and Noble by visiting HMESF.org first and clicking on the link above and proceeds from that purchase will go to the programs at HMESF that are so near and dear to our hearts.
