Regional Offices

Bringing books to the children who need them the most has taken Bring Me A Book far beyond our local community in Mountain View, California.

We serve over 450,000 children and parents at over 1,700 sites in California. To help us best serve the children who need our assistance, we have headquarters in the Bay Area, plus satellite offices established in four locations:

San Joaquin County, California

Our San Joaquin office launched in September 2006, thanks to grant from the Frank H. and Eva B. Buck Foundation. Our current focus is on Stockton, but the office is quickly expanding to serve other areas in San Joaquin. Our San Joaquin Regional Manager is Robert Morrow, EdD, a professor emeritus at the University of the Pacific. Contact Bob at rmorrow(at)pacific.edu.
