Spotlight on: Novelty Trading
Tonight, we want to feature an enabling partner – Novelty Trading
This picture speaks for itself – this is what they have started to pack out to DONATE from their inventory. They’re not done yet!
Thank YOU Novelty Trading! And that is not all they’ve done! Check this out:
As you know Novelty has generously partnered with the Rotary Race to Literacy in a very BIG way.
- First, they prepared their own promotional material and launched a launched at 50% off sale (on select books) at their Novelty downtown store and all Bookland locations in New Kingston, Montego Bay and Mandeville. They also made the same offer available through several retailers islandwide.
- Then they came out with us on a Sunday at Market At The Lawn to make books available to the public at deeply discounted prices – 50% off - just for donation.
- In an earlier post, More Exciting News From Novelty Trading, I listed the retailers below (listed again) who are participating in the drive.

PLEASE NOTE: Novelty can only make deeply discounted prices available if
1) You place the donated book back in the box. If you have concerns about doing that, just sign and date it on the inside cover AND
2) You fill out their donation form. Now, you are always welcome to buy other books, read them and donate them later – BUT if you buy the 50% off books they must go in the box accompanied by a form. It is not meant as an inconvenience – it is meant to ensure that your donation is recognized.
The Rotary Race To Literacy project has announced that the drop off point that collects the most books will receive special recognition so it is necessary to keep track of those numbers. We have a record of 242,624 books to beat – we can only do this together.
Thank you for your cooperation!
