Welcome to Brian's Books

Another year! It's 2010, and once again we're ready to start up with our bookdrive!

This web site is in honor of my beloved brother Brian Schutzius. He was born on February 9, 2001 with a very rare chromosome disorder. We loved him dearly for nearly five years when sadly, he passed away on November, 13 2005. We think about him all of the time and want to make sure his memory lives on. That's how we came up with Brian's Books. Brian loved his books and loved it when I read to him. As a way to keep his sweet spirit alive and give other children the gift of books, every year on his birthday, we collect as many books as possible give them to a local public school library. Last Year we donated about 20% of my schools budget in books! 

We are collecting books for kids ages 10 through 13 years. Hardbacks are preferred, but all books are welcome.  Each book will have a bookplate dedicated to Brian's memory. We also provide the librarian with a little story about Brian with the hopes to educate more people about people with disabilities and special needs. We hope to gather as many books as possible. P

Because we had a late start this year due to lots of snow, we will be accepting books any time between February 9th, until the official end of the school year, June 24th. Look under the contacts list to see where to send your books, and contact me (Emma S.) for any other information.

Thanks so much for visiting Brian's Books!
