Alpharetta Children's Dentistry Partners with Better World Books


Do you have books crowding your shelves? Looking for someone to take them off your hands?  Alpharetta Children’s Dentistry announces a partnership with Better World Books to help raise funds for local libraries and Cooperative for Education, a non-profit organization which creates sustainable textbook, computer center, reading, and scholarship programs in Guatemala.  Now located at both Alpharetta Children’s Dentistry locations, Better World Books will have their green drop off boxes conveniently located to donate your books with the promise that they will be used to positively impact someone else's life.

Alpharetta Children’s Dentistry is always looking for opportunities to give back and the book collection program from Better World Books was a natural fit with their other philanthropic initiatives.  By partnering with Better World Books, Alpharetta Children’s Dentistry now provides an opportunity for the entire community to get involved.

“At Alpharetta Children’s Dentistry it’s about more than just teeth,” said Dr. Mac. “We love to give back and inspire whenever we can and this partnership with Better World Books allows us to transform something unwanted into something needed – used books into much needed funding.”

Donated books will be sold on the Better World Books website, with portions of the proceeds going to the Fulton and Forsyth County Library and Cooperative for Education.  Books that cannot be sold by Better World Books will be responsibly recycled.  To date, Better World Books has successfully re-used or recycled more than 55 million books and raised over $10 million in funding for local libraries and global literacy.

The bright green Better World Book drop boxes will be placed outside each Alpharetta Children’s Dentistry location and books can be dropped off at anytime.
