Recycled Reading Buddies
Share
Recycled Reading Buddies are previously-loved books and plush companions to encourage reading at bed-time. Snuggle into a good book!
Recycled reading buddies generally range in price from $14-$22. Some may be more expensive due to the size of the companion or the uniqueness of the book.

If you ♥️ to read, check out this great book store (warehouse) in Largo on Ulmerton full of previously enjoyed books - fiction, non-fiction, biography, history, children’s- and more. Their prices are excellent and you can find some treasures.
They’re just moving into their new climate controlled space & will be adding a coffee shop & other neat stuff.
Recycled Reading Buddies appreciates all of the support George, Sara & their team gives our endeavor. We wish them huge success in their new location. 📚📚📚
Y’all ready!?! 🥳
See Y’all Friday!!
P. S. We have some Furniture that is being donated but they need picked up.
From Pinellas Park to Land o Lakes…anyone happen to have a way to pick up and bring to us?

We have a new goal!
Who do you know who belongs to a Tampa Bay or SW FL volunteer organization and is looking for community volunteer hour opportunities in 2025?
Recycled Reading Buddies is scheduling one assembly party per month in 2025 and if we're successful, we'll be able to provide delight and encouragement to over 2,400 area children and inspire the love of reading in each of them!
Recycled Reading Buddies are gifts for children of previously-loved stuffed characters that match a character in a children's book. We combine the book and the buddy, gift-wrap them, and provide them to children in need of a little motivation. Ultimately, they get to see the book character come to life in their arms while Mom or Dad is reading to them, or they get a companion to read to when they're venturing out on their own. WIN-WIN!
Thanks to our wonderful suppliers Goodwill Manasota and The Book Rescuers, we'll supply donated materials and instructions. We ask that your group provide the venue* and labor. We'll even collaborate with you if you have a favorite organization who wishes to be recipients of the finished gifts!
*RRB may be able to assist with the venue choice.
Reach out via Messenger and let's work together to encourage the love of reading in children.
