Operation Paperback – the Military Charity You’ve Never Heard of but Should

What Is Operation Paperback?

Operation Paperback is a charity that sends books and magazines to soldiers and their families. This is invaluable for people on the front lines who can’t stream the latest video, aren’t close to a library and are nowhere near a movie theater. For their families, it is a pleasant reminder that the world hasn’t forgotten them and gives them free entertainment. Operation Paperback lets volunteers send books to the VA hospitals, too.

I use this charity quite a lot and highly recommend it.

You can look through a great many want lists and many times hardcovers are well too.

You will end up supplying base libraries, ship’s libraries, unit libraries and of course individuals wants as well.

The soldiers or libraries keep track of how many books are shipped to them so it’s great to see the progress for each posting.

It’s also a lot of fun to receive letters from thankful outfits!

I so highly recommend using this web site.

That’s how I found out about the writings of Robert E. Howard, in the USO.

I hope that works. If not, the first results from a google search is the Operation Paperback web site.
