Bimini Bound - Sharing the Power of Reading

BookSwap is currently collecting books for Bimini Bound, a charity that brings much needed books into the hands of school children in Bimini, the westernmost island in the Bahamas. Books in demand are:

  • For students of all ages (pre-school - grade 12)

  • Gently used or new (intact covers, binding not broken)

  • Fiction and non-fiction 

  • Recently published books (textbooks and non-fiction titles should contain current, useful content)

Over the years, Bimini has experienced their share of hardships including prohibition, hurricanes and illegal drug trafficking.  Bimini Bound is a volunteer effort out of Whitby, Ontario, working in partnership with the Royal Bahamas Police to encourage the youth of Bimini to stay in school.
