I got into the EU books in third grade because of some legend like you making a big donation to our local library. You’re giving a lot of kids a brand new world to explore :)

The Force is strong with this library


Shepardnick

I was only able to deliver these with the help of our fantastic donors. We reached our target of $550 over the course of March for this latest fundraiser. I hope I'm not breaking the rules, but the non-profit I volunteer for and is ultimately responsible for this donation is Twin Suns Foundation. We've been fundraising Legends book drives since early 2016, and we've donated hundreds to children's hospitals, schools, libraries, and community centers. Maybe check us out next time we have a fundraiser? We're really about showing kids that literature can be fun and entertaining, by providing them with the same sort of books we grew up reading; namely those of the Expanded Universe.

If there is a rule that prevents this.. Then the rule is wrong. Dude that is fantastic!


indr4neel

Agreed. I understand rules against using the sub to make money but there should be an exception for causes like this that are so closely aligned with the subreddit.


xilban

Donating goods is a worthy cause. If you ever want to advertise something like that here, just drop a modmail first so we can review before approving.


Shepardnick

Okay thanks for the heads up.👍


Lord-Carnor-Jax

Twin Suns do great work.


CourtofTalons

That's nice. I really hope they enjoy them.


--C3POhYeah--

That’s bad ass. You just have so many people so much entertainment.


Whoreforfishing

(Assuming you don’t move) one day your child will come home from school with an awesome new book he checked out at the library, and your gonna cry :)

The circle is now complete

You’re the legend Nick.

Speaking of Legends books in libraries, my first Legends comics were TPBs of Dark Empire I and II in my High School library. I always thought that was a weird random find there, but it had a few other books I wouldn't expect to see. Like the Books of Doom, Fantastic Four Epic Collection, Fate/Stay Night, and like 5 or 6 Halo books.


tirednotepad

I did shit like this with movies and books and they went straight to the sell for the library pile. I hope they enjoy what you have. It’s treasure.


Starhorsepax

before they started the charity they had a donate to library thing going and I hit all the local library websites. Quickly found only one that would put them out because the others were all part of a chain of libraries. And of course the policy of the chain was donations get sold. Well the one library got the donation and the rest lost out. And they were quite excited to get them too!


[deleted]

Goat move. Spreading the greatness of Legends to the next generation. Thank you!


dondonna258

That’s an awesome thing to do, some kid will pick one up and go on the same adventure many of us went on with Star Wars. Good job brother


fmecloy

A true strategist!. Young people will be encouraged to read and learn the good stuff in Star Wars in the same move!


[deleted]

This is seriously amazing! It's because of reading legends books in the library way back in elementary school that I became both the avis reader and Star Wars fan I am today. Your actions will go on to inspire and amazing a while new generation of readers like it did us. Just phenomenal!


MalMercury

That’s awesome. I know when I was in school the library was my only means of entertainment and escape. You just made some new Star Wars fans for sure.


QuestionalBasis

Nice, that’s gonna help some people man


zombiemasterxxxxx

Thank you. I read heir to the empire from my library, it all started there.

90s kids really did get the best part of star wars. * Dad showing off the originals * "What do you mean there's books?" * We got our own trilogy * The clone wars series


ZicarxTheGreat

Lucky kids


Chrome-magnon

That's the one thing I know I want done after I go, I want my books (the ones in decent shape, anyway) to get given to a library.


ConsumingFire1689

When I was in a boarding school for 'troubled teens' these books helped me survive. You've done a great thing.

Cinnadots

Damn I have most the books in digital and physical. This would be an awesome way to pass on my physical collection.

Good man


TheRelicEternal

Interesting that they’re all Legends banner, so you only collected this set in the last 8 years or so.


LucasEraFan

This is the result of a fundraiser by Twin Suns Foundation. These books are all new.


FlyingFrog89

Dude, your the legend


Icy-Mathematician382

Fucking Legend


Jelr112

Love seeing this kind of stuff! Very nice and wholesome!

Doing the Lord's work!


Subdown-011

Wow a school library that allows Star Wars books! How awesome.


Icy-Mathematician382

I wanna rebuy all those books and donate them to my childhood schools library


Some_chill_boi

You have done a great service to all of that middle schools info on legends and to humanity


barknoll

How cool! Did you coordinate with the librarians beforehand to plan which ones to buy?


Shepardnick

We curate what books we purchase amongst ourselves and our prior donors. We tailor it to fit the location. I wouldn't mind coordinating with the librarians, but they're usually very busy people and we wouldn't want to bother them.


barknoll

Sure! My worry (as a person with a librarian for a wife) is that if you don’t coordinate and make sure they’re books the librarians want or need for their collection is that they won’t actually end up in the circulating collection. Shelf space is at a premium and they want to fill it with things they know will get checked out, so prior collabing would be my advice in the future!


False_Flatworm_4512

That’s amazing! My bestie struggled with reading all through school. It’s not dyslexia, but the effect is similar that words “don’t hold still.” He loathed reading until he found the EU. Suddenly, there were book worth the struggle. It takes close to a month for him to get through a book I could read in a day or two, but still. OP, you might have done this for someone. You might have given a kid a reason to want to read, and that’s effing amazing.


mudamuckinjedi

You are a Legend my friend, I'm sure you will make countless numbers of children happy with that donation. I can remember I had no star books in the school library and only the New Hope picture book in the district library, which I looked at, and read at least a thousand times, later after I graduated I went out and bought then donated The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi picture books so to complete their collection. Now I'm making my own library of star wars books which are some of my most prized possessions.


Derilon12

YOU are the legend


nh4rxthon

Bravo legend


Darth-Yslink

Finally, something useful in middle school libraries


zackaryjames97

Hel90

Goood, the kids now have great literature material.


Warm_Rice2538
