The Book Drive will bring together Élan Academy Founder and CEO Dr. Melanie Askew Clark, Louisiana State Representative Delisha Boyd, OPSB District 4 Member Katrina Chantelle Griffin, and local community partners in support of young readers.For Dr. Clark, the mission is deeply personal. Growing up in a home impacted by domestic violence, books became a refuge, offering her peace and helping her imagine possibilities beyond her circumstances. That experience ultimately helped shape the school she founded and her commitment to ensuring New Orleans children have access to books and opportunities that expand what they believe is possible. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-orleans/Élan-academy-community-book-drive-building-home-libraries-for-new-orleans-students-tickets/80003662741381 - **Event Categories**: Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD - **Ticket informations**: - ticket_1 — 0.00 USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New Orleans - **state**: LA - **country**: United States - **location**: Élan Academy Charter School - **lat**: 29.91685949999999 - **long**: -89.98506170000002 - **full address**: Élan Academy Charter School, 6501 Berkley Dr, New Orleans, LA 70131, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Élan Academy Community Book Drive: Building Home Libraries for New Orleans Students - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/thumb6ac7bf634ac75.jpg ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Elan Academy Community Book Drive: Building Home Libraries for New Orleans Students being held? - **A:** Elan Academy Community Book Drive: Building Home Libraries for New Orleans Students takes place on Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Elan Academy Charter School, 6501 Berkley Dr, New Orleans, LA 70131, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Elan Academy Community Book Drive: Building Home Libraries for New Orleans Students? - **A:** Elan Academy Community Book Drive: Building Home Libraries for New Orleans Students is organized by Elan Academy. - **Q**: Where can I buy Elan Academy Community Book Drive: Building Home Libraries for New Orleans Students tickets? - **A:** Elan Academy Community Book Drive: Building Home Libraries for New Orleans Students, happening on Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 am in New Orleans, is available on AllEvents.
