Books are special, no one wants to throw them away and recycling options can be hard to find. This Earth Day, some MRRA members are hosting Books for Earth, a free book collection event to provide a new life for your old books.
All books collected at the event will be reused or recycled into a new product by Better World Books, Books for Africa, and Thrifty Books. Book collection services are provided by the NetWork for Better Futures.
About the NetWork for Better Futures
The NetWork for Better Futures is a social enterprise dedicated to reducing the economic and social costs of high-risk adults, primarily African American men, with histories of incarceration, substance abuse, mental illness, chronic unemployment, and homelessness. This innovative endeavor is designed to respond immediately to participants’ most basic needs: safe, decent, affordable housing and a job. The NetWork was created and is being sponsored by a team of Minnesota’s leading healthcare, housing, workforce, community corrections, and human service practitioners.
