Book donation opportunities for the disaster area (Information for supporters, donators, volunteers etc.)

This is an overview of the various activities sponsored by other groups or organizations besides saveMLAK. As of today, saveMLAK does not currently sponsor any book donation opportunities. If you are interested in offering storage space, volunteering to sort donated materials, and/or transporting donated materials, saveMLAK can introduce the appropriate coordinators for these tasks.

To Book Donors

Please contact shelters or social welfare offices prior to sending any items. Arranging and sorting books requires a great amount of effort and physical work. Therefore, it is best to contact the individuals or organizations listed on this site and to participate within the donation opportunities they offer.
Think “Okuru (sending)” equals with “Okuru (giving).” For example, in the past some individuals have sent damaged and useless books to disaster areas without a second thought. Put yourself in their shoes as a receiver of donated books. Wouldn’t it be disappointing if you received only useless, damaged books in a box?
However, this does not mean that you must send only new books. Just make sure to donate quality used or new books that you would also be happy to receive. “Okuru (sending)” is “Okuru (giving).”


Ideas on How to Share Books With Others

For example, if high school and junior high school students run a library within a shelter with books donated, think of how you can help them accomplish this with donated books.
Media hon o minna de taisetsuni yomutame no kufu, [Japanese], or Ideas on how to share media books with others.


Various opportunities

You can include any questions or concerns directly on this site or tweet your questions and concerns to #saveMLAK. #saveMLAK

saveMLAK is not liable for the contents of the links here. Since this is a free site, it is left to the discretion of individuals whether to participate in any of the projects or opportunities above.
It is important to remember that in the past, the magnitude of books sent to disaster areas has caused an overload of material to sort in order to distribute to victims. With this in mind, please be conscious of the kinds of books and materials sent to specific organizations in accordance to their donation goals and opportunities.
