From 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on Saturday, September 28, the Bellaire Branch of AYLUS volunteered at Books for Development (3709 Polk St., Houston, TX 77003).
Books for Development is a nonprofit organization that addresses book shortages in developing countries by increasing access to literacy.

According to the Books for Development website, the organization has delivered over 1.5 million books and established around 500 libraries, reaching lives from all over the globe.
At this event, members of the AYLUS Bellaire Branch opened boxes of books, divided them according to subjects and condition, and then boxed them up for shipment.
