Badge No. 14	BOOK GIVING Collect 10 or more children's books for the "Right to Read," "Book Share," or other similar type of book program (make sure you have permission to give the books away). Take the books you have collected to a shelter, social services agency, daycare, church or anywhere they will make them available for children to take and keep, who are not fortunate enough to have easy access to lots of books. Tell your JG where you took the books and how they will share them with other children. (Even if you do not get 10 books you can still donate them.)
