BookPal's Summer of Literacy Promotion in Full Swing

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 4, 2014) -  BookPal -- a leading bulk-bookselling enterprise catering to corporations, schools, non-profits and government organizations -- is running its first annual Summer of Literacy promotion that gives teachers (grades K-12) a weekly chance to win books for their classrooms.

Ushering in National Literacy Month in September, the event began July 1 and will run until the end of September. Each week, BookPal is drawing one winner at random to receive a free class book set (25 copies of a single title). Winners may choose the title from a list of 30 education titles, which can be found here. So far, winners have chosen To Kill a Mockingbird and Jackie Robinson and the Boar. Two grand prize winners chosen at the end of the promotion will each receive $500 in store credit.

"Whether it's 25-book sets for classrooms or 10,000 e-books for a corporate giveaway, BookPal has serving our clients' wholesale book needs for the past five years," says Tony DiCostanzo, president and founder of BookPal. "Our Summer of Literacy promotion is a way to say 'thank you' and give back to our schools, all while growing awareness for and celebrating National Literacy Month."

Educators at every level rely on BookPal as a critical resource for a breadth of educational products, from children's books, trade novels and textbooks, to instructional and assessment materials for educators. Schools and literacy organizations can order 25 novels for a classroom or thousands of book copies for a college first-year reading program.
