Dear PRSC,
Dozens of donated African-American children's books were stolen from Faces in the Loop, a decades old art studio in University City dedicated to helping children in public housing.
KSDK's website has the full story of the break-in, which happened Wednesday at the former Guardian Angel building at the Clinton-Peabody housing development in St. Louis.
Book Drive
Left Bank Books and Subterranean Books are working together to help replace the stolen books. We are collecting books from our shelves to be donated to Faces in the Loop, and we are collecting donations from our customers to add to the stack.
If you have any African-American children's books to donate, or would like to purchase books from us to donate to the cause, you may drop off your donation here at Left Bank Books or at Subterrranean Books on Delmar Avenue.
To purchase and donate a book online, click here for a list of suggested titles.

Why only African-American children's books? Because that's what they asked for.
