“We are excited to relaunch this rewarding partnership with the Indianapolis Public Library after a brief hiatus due to the pandemic,” said Hogsett. “Jingle Books gives the community an opportunity to help children develop their reading and literacy skills during the holiday season. We encourage residents to participate by donating a children’s book at any branch, or by picking out a donated book to bring home.”
At a launch event on December 1 at Central Library, Mayor Joe Hogsett, Indianapolis Public Library interim CEO John Helling, and Sondhi Solutions representative Jeff Roeder donated the first books of the campaign.
“We are working to ensure that every child receives the gift of reading in December,” said Helling. “The Library appreciates the continued support of this holiday tradition.”
Since the program started, 7,164 books have been donated to local children.
