DJ Soul Sister’s 19th Annual Crate Dig, Sun. Dec 21, 3-5pm
Once again, DJ Soul Sister will be bringing her decorations, treats, and talents to Domino Sound for our annual Crate Dig. 19 years! Not only will she be playing records from 3-5pm off of the Domino Sound racks, she is also happy to assist in your record extraction choices from those same racks. In addition, once again, there will be a book drive and raffle for those who participate, which has been a great success for One Book One New Orleans every year we have done it. Please join us if you can.
::: BOOK DRIVE:::
Participate in the One Book One New Orleans book drive benefiting Operation Restoration. Donated books will go to children of families impacted by the justice system.
Just bring a new book (or books) for children and young adults to the Holiday Crate Dig at Domino Sound Record Shack (2557 Bayou Rd.) on Sunday, December 21, 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Different ways to get your books for the drive:
1) Purchase new books from any bookseller.
2) Purchase books on site at the Community Book Center, located just a few steps away from Domino Sound Record Shack.

WHO?
ONE BOOK ONE NEW ORLEANS:
One Book One New Orleans is a nonprofit organization that supports literacy, builds community, and promotes meaningful dialogue between people of diverse backgrounds by calling on all New Orleanians to share the experience of reading and discussing a selected book each year, and providing literacy resources to organizations and individuals throughout our community. Knowing that they cannot achieve their goals alone, One Book One New Orleans works with a number of community partners to ensure that books are accessible to those typically excluded from a community of readers, including people experiencing poverty, homelessness, visual impairment, low literacy, and incarceration.
OPERATION RESTORATION:
Operation Restoration’s mission is to support women and girls impacted by incarceration to recognize their full potential, restore their lives, and discover new possibilities. The non-profit organization was founded in 2016, and is led by formerly incarcerated women.
