World Bird Sanctuary needs gently used or new books relating to animals, nature, the planet, going green, and/or conservation.
Fiction, non-fiction, magazines, and field guides are all welcome. Books can be for any age, but children’s books are especially needed. For your convenience, a donation box is located on the porch of our Wildlife Hospital.
World Bird Sanctuary is developing a children’s reading and activity room in the Olga Reye’s Building. Once opened, this room will be free to the public to use. To get things started, a collection of environmental books is essential. If you are like most of us at WBS, you probably have quite a collection of such volumes on your book shelves at home. So if you have a few that seem to be collecting dust, please consider donating them for use in our aspiring library.
If you do donate, your information will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win an ‘Adopt a Bird’ package of your choice – up to a $150 value! The drawing will be held on July 31st.
Acorn the Screech Owl is a popular bird adoptee
Donated books can be dropped off or mailed to us:
Drop off point: Wildlife Hospital porch
Mail to: World Bird Sanctuary – Reading Room Project
125 Bald Eagle Ridge Rd, Valley Park, MO 63088
So come on down to see our amazing birds and bring the kids, bring a picnic lunch, and bring a book to donate. As always, admission is free! What better way to spend an afternoon than to visit the World Bird Sanctuary!

I visited World Bird Sanctuary on a rainy day in June when I was on vacation in St. Louis. What a wonderful facility you have! I loved photographing your feathered friends.
I just ordered some books for you using some of my credits at paperbackswap.com! good luck with your project.
Thank you MEW - we appreciate your effort. Don't forget to include your contact details so that you can be entered in the drawing for the Adopt-a-Bird Package.
Catherine.
