Books for Birds

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!
