IPR announces second holiday book bonanza

New books and used books, paperback books and rare books, children’s books and books-on-tape: We want them all! Indiana Public Radio is accepting donations of used books and CDs throughout the month of October. The Holiday Book Bonanza will be held on November 22 from 7am until noon in the Atrium of the David Letterman Communication and Media Building on Ball State's campus.

Why should I pledge?

You enjoy Indiana Public Radio and the unique programs it offers. IPR opens up your horizons and makes you a more interested and interesting person. Even things you know or care little about become more important to you when presented on public radio.

You don't have time to read as much as you'd like, so IPR helps you stay abreast of what's going on in the world. You know that you can't find classical music anywhere else on the dial but on public radio. And think how often your life has been changed by something or someone you've heard on public radio!

You rely on IPR to bring you the programs you want and need. Likewise, IPR depends on you for support. More than 80 percent of IPR's program budget comes from member support. If public radio is important to you, please become a member now.
