book drive
Reading donation campaign
A book drive is an organized effort to collect donated books, typically for schools, libraries, or underserved communities.
Like a blood drive or food drive, participants contribute items rather than money: The elementary school is holding a book drive for hurricane victims.
Most book drives target children's literature or educational materials.
