Lucy's Lifeboat Library

Hey Clockblockers! We’ve definitely been in the trenches this past month trying to save this show we all love so much. We’ve been fighting our most noble and honorable battle yet! Everything is pretty uncertain, and the only thing we know for sure at this point is that we LOVE TIMELESS and want to do right by it. If you’ve been inspired by the educational impact this show has had, like so many of us have, I invite you now to do what Lucy would do, and share that love by giving back! Spread the love of learning that this show has inspired in all of us by participating in Lucy’s Lifeboat Library, a book drive backed by a lot of love and hope from a LOT of Clockblockers all over the world. 

We’ve teamed up with the Lucy Preston Literary Society and reached out to different charities devoted to gifting used books to people in need – from underfunded schools, literacy programs, prisons, wounded soldiers, you name it! Our goal is to give selflessly, to spread the beauty of reading and knowledge to those in need, and to make a difference for the better - like the characters in this show and the wonderful writers who have created them.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Below is a list of the charities, with an explanation of what they do, and their respective Amazon Wishlists. (Please note that it’s okay to buy these gently used from Amazon sellers, they will be accepted by the organizations). On the gift receipt: include a supportive message as part of your donation, share your name (if you want), why you’re doing this, and include the #LifeBoatLibrary hashtag so they can see all of the other donations we’ve made! Remember to also let us know on Twitter which book you’ve added to Lucy’s Lifeboat Library, via #LifeBoatLibrary and don’t forget to include #SaveTimeless and #Timeless! 

Do not go gentle in into that good night, and donate a book or two while you’re at it! 

THE CHARITIES

Kids Need to Read; works to create a culture of reading for children by providing inspiring books to underfunded schools, libraries, and literacy programs across the USA, especially those serving disadvantaged children. Find their list here. 

Prison Book Programs. Prison Book Program is a grassroots organization that exists for one purpose—to send free books to prisoners. PBP mails books to people in prison to support their educational, vocational and personal development and to help them avoid returning to prison after their release. We also aim to provide a quality volunteer experience that introduces citizens to issues surrounding the American prison system and the role of education in reforming it. Find their list here. (edit 7/12/18: Prison Book Program thanks Clockblockers for their donations!! ) 

2,000 Libros; set up through DC Books to Prisons is a book drive for the 2,047 minors who crossed the Mexico/U.S. border remained in facilities scattered across the country, where they wait to be reunited with their parents. Many of them don’t know where their parents are. Some lack basic supplies, like bedding and toiletries. Books are a small way of showing these children and teens that many other worlds exist. Hope, love, happiness, and wonder are available at the turn of a page. Show your support by finding their wishlist here.
