United Way Book Exchange
How it works
The United Way of Mesa County Book Exchange is a free network of book exchange boxes located around Mesa County. United Way of Mesa County will periodically stock the book boxes with donations of children’s books to help encourage childhood literacy. Families are encouraged to participate in the “take a book, leave a book model” to ensure every child can access a new book.
