Liberation Library, which sends books to incarcerated kids, is always looking for donations. The Evanston Public Library is now doing some partner work with them. I think they may have a designated shelf for them, but if it's not easily accessible, ask to speak w/ one of the librarians, or to Jill Schacter, if the librarians can't help out. http://www.liberationlib.com/about.html

My neighbor (on Lincolnwood Drive) is collecting books for kids for a literacy program she has run for years at NorthShore Hospital. I can't tag her here but can put you in touch. She started and runs the Free Little Library on Lincolnwood Drive, and you can leave the books in bags next to the Little Library in front of her house and next to my house (for distribution to the hospital, not our neighborhood!). Just let me know so I can keep an eye out.

Puerta Abierta Preschool on Main and Chicago has a summer camp, and it's open not only to preschoolers but also elementary school kids. I'm pretty sure it's only in July.
