Operation Paperback Drop Off Location
We have partnered with the Kendall Weekly Times and Operation Paperback and will be a Drop Off Location for the cause.
Operation Paperback collects gently used books and sends them to American troops deployed overseas. Since 1999, we have shipped over 1.1 million books to locations around the globe.
Many of our troops are serving far from home and living in facilities that provide few of the comforts of home. At the end of the duty day, the opportunity to escape into a good book is welcomed. Every week we receive thanks from troops who are glad to be appreciated and remembered.
Our service members make sacrifices every day for our country. It takes so little to let them know that we appreciate what they are doing for us. When you donate to Operation Paperback, you will let our troops know that you support them, and you have not forgotten them.
Operation Paperback is a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of Pennsylvania. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, your donations to our organization are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.

I just signed up with OP because I saw it here on your site. I have put together our first five boxes and will ship off about 75 books tomorrow.
Thanks for the info and the opportunity!

Dear Olde Towne Books and Tea,
I am a resident of Aurora and a follower of your website. My new cozy mystery “Sounds of Murder” was recently published by Cozy Cat Press and will be featured at the Aurora Public Library’s first annual Local Author Fair on September 18. Last week I did a book signing at Conover Books in Rochelle. I would be delighted to come to Old Towne Books and Tea for an author signing or book distribution if you would like. I would be happy to offer a special discount for your customers or a copy of my book as a door prize of some sort if you like.
Although “Sounds of Murder” is my first venture into fiction, I have various academic publications from my lifelong career in Communication research, including several textbooks and a book on sarcasm with Edwin Mellen Press. You can find out more about me from either of my two blogs–Communication Exchange (http://communicationexchange.blogspot.com) ; and Subjective Soup (http://subjectivesoup.blogspot.com). ;
Thank you. I hope we will be able to arrange an event that will be mutually beneficial to both Olde Towne Books and Tea and myself.
Sincerely,
Patricia Rockwell
