The goal this year is to collect 800 new books. Albertsons Library is off to an amazing start and has already received 132 donations for 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operation Wish Book, a non-profit founded over 30 years ago by retired Idaho teachers, aims to foster a love of reading in young people. Albertsons Library has been a dedicated supporter of this cause since 1994, contributing over 4,400 books to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your donation can make a lasting impact.
