We surely exceeded our goals for this year collecting 546 books and over 700 architectural magazines!
Thank you very much to each of you who donated a book or has volunteered time to this program; Your donation will provide local educational institutions with an architectural library, supporting education, creating awareness of architecture and art and raising exposure of our profession as a career path. THANK YOU!
Special thanks to the Bookshelf Leaders at the architecture firms, that donated their time and effort to make the program known, and successfully collected so many books, to the Comex Group for sponsoring this year’s book drive and to everyone that participated.
Our two beneficiary schools will be L.G. Pinkston High School (West Dallas) and Moisés E. Molina High School (Oak Cliff).
We will be updating you on the distribution of the books.
