book drives
Literary donation events
Book drives are organized campaigns to collect donated books, typically for schools, libraries, or communities in need.
The term follows the pattern of other charitable collection efforts like food drives or blood drives.
The library hosted a book drive for hurricane victims.
Our school's book drive collected over 2,000 books for underfunded classrooms.
