The Royal Oak shop chooses Beaumont Children's Hospital as the local nonprofit recipient of its annual Holiday Book Drive.

Barnes & Noble stores across the country invite customers to give the gift of reading to children in need during its annual Holiday Book Drive, taking place now through Jan. 1. 

The Barnes & Noble Holiday Book Drive provides an opportunity for customers to donate books through locally designated nonprofit organizations.

Holiday Book Drive recipients throughout the country include schools, libraries, literacy organizations, family social service agencies and homeless centers.  This year, the Royal Oak Barnes & Noble, located at 500 S. Main St., will be collecting books for Beaumont Children’s Hospital.
