Astro Book Drive aims to contribute to astronomy education in developing countries by sharing
“excess” reading materials and making contact. The program is co-founded by Thilina Heenatigala of
Sri Lanka Astronomical Association and Prof John T Clarke of Boston University, MA.

Get involved
Astro Book Drive is more of a backyard project which anyone can get involved in personally or as a
group. Most of you have reading materials you would like to find a better home for, or maybe you
know someone who would like to gift some books. Even as a group through your department,
institution, library or some other association, you can run a Book Drive to collect books from everyone
and then gift them to an astronomy society in a developing country.
