Books for Africa is a Twin Cities-based group that collects, sorts, ships and distributes books to African children. You can help by gathering old fiction books, reference books and textbooks you have at home, and asking family and friends for theirs, too. Book guidelines, donation instructions and hours for the Books for African Warehouse, 715 E. Minnehaha Ave., St. Paul, can be found on the group's Web site, booksforafrica.org/books-computers.html.
