Grapevine-based Waldorf Publishing to donate 10,000 books to Texas schools, libraries, churches

To help boost literacy while many schools and libraries are closed, the Grapevine-based publishing company Waldorf Publishing is donating 10,000 books to schools, libraries and churches in Texas.

All the books that will be donated by the company are brand new and have a total combined retail value of more than $170,000, according to the news release.

There will be 100 recipients of the books, which will be given out 100 at a time once the Dallas-Fort Worth area is cleared from the novel coronavirus, Waldorf Publishing said in a news release.

Books can be reserved now by logging onto Waldorf Publishing at this link and filling out the form to reserve the 100 books. They will be reserved on a first-come, first served basis.

"Right now, we need for all to register on our website, as no one will be at the building until we all have the clear to leave our houses," Waldorf Publishing founder Barbara Terry said in an email.

The recipients must be able to show proof of working for a Texas school, a church, a PTA or a Girl or Boy Scout troop upon pickup, per the news release.
