BOOK   ZILLA

 October 4th thru 10th

Gaillard Auditorium

Bookzilla is a fundraising project that gives volunteers, businesses and the general public an opportunity to support Charleston Volunteers for Literacy's tutoring program for students in high need, local elementary schools.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 by collecting 10,000 books each supported by $5 in donations. Local artist Karl Beckwith Smith, will lead an attempt to set a new sculpture record by collecting and stacking over 10,000 books into a towering art sculpture.

Sponsors are needed to pledge funds for every book donated. We hope you will find this a fun and easy project to get involved with and an innovative way to participate in Charleston Volunteers for Literacy's hands on support for reading improvement in the public schools.

How Volunteers Can Help.
