Why Books Matter at Mott

A good book can turn a long day into an adventure. University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children's Hospital shares thousands of dollars worth of books with patients and families every month, and your donation helps keep those shelves full. We're proud to support Mott through Book in the Branch once again, and we're grateful to every member and neighbor who helps make it possible.

How to Give

Drop off a new book. Bring a new children's book to any participating branch through October 31st.

Shop our Wishlist. Choose a book from our Books in the Branch Amazon Wishlist and it ships directly to UMCU.

Make a donation. Your gift goes toward books for Mott patients and families.
