Books and a Haircut Ministry Project
Books for Barber Shops - Books for Hair Salons

Collect new or gently used books (Christian and secular themed) to be distributed to barber
shops and hair salons in your community.
Invite your entire church to participate in this important ministry project.

 Before books are donated:

☺ Make sure all the pages are intact.
☺ Do not donate books that are personally inscribed.
☺ Place a label in each book with your church name as the donor
and a scripture verse.

 Deliver books to the barber shops and hair salons.

 Organize a story hour at one of the barber shops or hair salons on a day when children are most likely to visit. Read books, sing songs, and do finger plays to entertain and engage the children while waiting for haircuts.

Barber shops and hair salons are community institutions regularly visited by children and their parents. Donating books to these neighborhood establishments will partner the church with community,
promote reading, and share the Good News to children and their parents getting haircuts.
