Hey!!!
Couple of answers to FAQ (just found out what FAQ meant)
Frequently asked questions!!!!!
Here goes:
It has to be a NEW childrens book.
Age range for books is preferably infant to 5 years.
BUT if you have a favorite book that you feel compelled
to purchase that is a little older in age range go for it.
By all means, do local book drives that are inspired by Let’s Get This.
There have been a lot of great ideas! We can take those books from you
at the shows and get them in the right hands.
Volunteers will be notified with-in about a week of the show.
We wish we could pick all of you, but we narrowed it down to 10 for each show-
all of you are incredibly qualified- professionally and passionately
and I look forward to expanding Let’s Get This Foundation
and leaning on everyone to take this to new heights.
To all those who wanted to volunteer with their kids,
I think that it’s great to get them involved. Please have them
come by and drop off a book, but it might not be the best situation for kids
to do the actual volunteering 
The volunteers are important, but its everyone else’s job to keep them busy
by bringing lots of new books!!!
Thank you again to everyone for all the amazing e-mails-
you are really pumping me up and inspiring me to go further.
This is only the beginning!!!
Everybody now…. Let’s Get This!!!

Joe, This book drive is such a wonderful idea!! A book is one of the greatest gifts for a child! Us, Blockheads will not let you guys down! LETS GET THIS…Rocks!!
June 1st, 2009 at 8:18 am
Thanks Joe! All good to know.
I have an idea that you may have thought of already. Since not every fan who attends a concert may visit this website to know of the book drive, could you have kiosks or laptops available at the drop off sites that they could use to go online and order books? I’d bet lots of people will see the collection and wish they had known earlier but then go home and forget about it. If there was a place where they could purchase books on the spot, I’m sure many would take advantage.
Just a thought! Let’s get this!
Love,
Katie

Hey Joe,
Thanks again for picking me and my twin sis to volunteer at Va Beach!!!
We are both very excited and we won’t let you down! I’m very excited about getting started. My sister and I are both planning to get word of mouth going about this here in our area of NC. I can’t wait to meet you and be one of the first volunteers to get this going!! It’s going to be an awesome, amazing summer! Thank you again for doing this. You’re the best!!!
Much love,
Amy xoxo

Hey Joey,
I hope you do these when you next come to the UK, I’d love to be able to help out either by volunteering or bringing along some books. Good luck with it all, I’m sure all the fans will agree with me that we are all happy to do as much to help as we can and that the NKOTB reunion is a brilliant way to get something like this started, we’re all pumped up and ready to go!!!
Have a great summer tour,

I had another idea, which is surprising since it’s a Monday. Was thinking more about the order online kiosks and considered that it may be too much trouble to transport and set up computers at each station (although you could always get a few of those little netbooks and aircards, which would be small and inexpensive).
In any case, I thought if people can’t order on the spot, maybe they could give money you could use to buy books later. That would require a permanent staffer as I’m sure you wouldn’t leave a random volunteer to oversee cash, but you must have a few that will be in each city to train the newbies.
Maybe I’m just making trouble with these ideas; just trying to figure out how to involve more than the website visitors. I’m done now (I think).
See you in Holmdel.
Katie (again)
June 1st, 2009 at 10:25 am
I am so excited for this book drive to come about! I hope I was one of the people you picked but if not thats ok. This is so much more about the kids and getting the books they deserve. Only 22 more days until I see you in Cleveland!! Then Cincy and then Indy!! LETS BOOK THIS!! XOXO TONI B.

If anyone is thinking about purchasing tickets for any of the upcoming NKOTB shows, Live Nation will be running a NO SERVICE FEE promotion this wednesday, June 3rd for 24 hours only! Tickets can be purchased at livenation.com and if I were you, I definitely would not miss this opportunity to see such an awesome band at the lowest prices of the summer!
June 1st, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Hey..I was wondering if you will be putting this idea out to the media..i have called a few radio stations and tv stations to maybe start a book fair..so far hasn’t worked which i understand because people want to know that the books are going where they are supposed to go..i did this because Wichita is smaller than Kansas City and thought we could get more books that way. i’m still gonna try libraries and things like that. if not you then can someone email me and let me know if u guys will be doing the media thing….i am willing to work the book drive..even if i don’t get to meet you…it’s just a cause close to my heart!!!
email angie_currier@yahoo.com
June 1st, 2009 at 2:16 pm
joey!!! i LOVE this idea!! i hope im picked as a volunteer but if not i still plan on trying to get people motivated to donate, and ill bring them to the concert

June 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I will be at the Camden show and would love to volunteer. I’m in marketing and so many ideas popped into my head. I’ll share this one thought with you an 5 million sisters. What if proceeds from each ticket go towards the Let’s Get This Foundation? It could get so big and turn into, well, possibly a bookstore/library on wheels kinda thing that visits cities? For those that don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s like an RV but it’s a bookstore/library inside. This is great for people who don’t necessarily have means of transportation to visit a bookstore or a library and/or have the money to purchase new books for themselves or children?
June 1st, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Hey Joe
I think this is the greatest idea. Books do so much for children and their families. I REALLY hope that my essay will be picked for the Father’s Day show in Toronto. I have been to 2 of the reunion shows already. I really hope that I can give back this time. Either way I will bring books. I will spread the word. I am bring a second generation blockhead with me. My teenage cousin. She is ready to see what being an NKOTB fan is all about.
All NKOTB fan will come together like always.
Where are the books going?

Book drive is awesome! I have a ? for anyone that went on the cruise~ do you know when we will be able to see the group photo that was taken of us and the guys?? Or even where to look for it?? No one seems to know
June 1st, 2009 at 6:23 pm
I think it’s great what you are doing for the children with this book drive. I will be bringing my book in June for the Tinley park chicago concert. I will also be asking people to help and I will bring those books the concert or have people go online. My profession is a phlebotomist I draw blood for donation to help others that are ill and dieing. SO I GET THIS!!!! Let go we can all make a hugh difference together a little bit at a time.
Love you Guys

You are inspiring many to do many things. You should be very proud of yourself for getting this going. Your son will look back at this one day and say, “My dad did that!”

June 1st, 2009 at 7:30 pm
I just had to pass it on to you guys
*FOR YOUR REALIZATION*
To realize the value of a sister/brother
Ask someone who doesn’t have one.
To realize the value of ten years:
Ask a newly divorced couple.
To realize the value of four years:
Ask a graduate.
To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
To realize the value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
To realize the value of one-second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.
June 1st, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Joe- The “Let’s Get This” idea is terrific! I am an early childhood special education teacher as well as a parent educator. As part of my job I do home visits with the families that I teach. It is a shame to see the lack of books in these homes.
One of my favorite parts of my job is encouraging families to read with their children and allow time for their child to explore through the wonder of a book!
This program is a wonderful way to stress the serverity of early intervention through books/reading. Thanks for making an effort!
The joy of reading to a child…watching their minds wonder and imaginations soar is truly a blessing. I plan on bringing a few boxes full of books to the concert. I have 5* is St. Louis on July 1…I hope to see you then. Thanks again for your effort on promoting literacy! I am already a huge supporter and plan on continuing to help support your efforts!

I attended a concert a few years back and this Artist was raising money for the local foodbanks where she performed. For every toonie donated you received a ticket for a draw at a chance to go up on stage have your picture taken with the artiist and autographed by the artist. It didn’t disrupt the show at all. I thought it was an AWESOME idea. A fan was able to meet her idol and support a good cause.
Why not adopt the same concept for this Book Drive “Let’s Get This”? Joe why not give it a try?

I’m excited to see how this drive is going to turn out.
Seems to have gotten such a great response so far!! Good thing we all can buy books at different times and through different ways. If we all had just a few hours to do it on Amazon or something, we’d probably crash that site too. 
Love you,

drive.

Love it! Love it!! Brilliant idea about the book drive. I am one of those that asked to volunteer with my kids, but I respect your wishes. So I will think of other ways to help, since my kids may come with me to the concert. That depends on how kid friendly I see they are on youtube. So please help me out there. I’ve already told the friends/family going with me to the concert in Memphis about the book drive. They don’t have internet. I have it only at work. Thanks again, Mr. Mac, for the inspiration.

this is a fantastic idea Joe, Absoloutly love it. I will get my kids on to it immediately and get them to pick one favourite each for us to buy. they are very upset i am not taking them to the concert with me so maybe this will help placate them a little! They are all absoloute bookworms. I know you are flat out but there is a book call “Reading Magic” by a famous australian childrens author Mem Fox. I think you would love it.
If you need any help for Brisbane let me know
Bring on August!!

There are 2 books that I bought a few years back. I bought them because the content of the book meant a lot to me. I told myself that I was going to give them to someone very special and for a while they were put away. Now, there’s a very important place and a special reason to pull these books and give them to someone who really needs them. Joe, thanks for doing this. I love you and very much appreciate what you started. We’re right with you on this. Can’t wait to bring the books. Can’t wait to see you again.
Love always,

Hey Joe, I am amazed at this fantastic idea Lets Get This! I am currently studying my post grad in Early Childhood ed. It is so important for children to be exposed to quality books early on in their life, it makes such a huge difference. You are doing a great thing… thank you! Would love to help, but being in Australia makes it a bit tricky! Are you collecting books here too?
Oh and guess what, I just saw you guys in the Aussie show 20 to 1 listed on the top 20 sexiest music acts of all time!! How cool is that? They showed your old clips and it threw me back 17 years to when I was a real blockhead! LOL:)
June 4th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Hey Joe,
Just a question regarding your Montreal show and this Foundation… Are these books for each city you visit or one in particular? The reason I am asking this is regarding the language requirements of these books, here in Montreal most of the books you find are in French…is this suitable?

Hi Joey,
This is a great thing that you are doing for the children. I read to my daughter every night before bed, it is are thing we do together. And i did it for my son also, hes a little to old now, he reads to himself. He will be 11. As a matter of fact my sister and I are bring him to your concert on June 18 in Connecticut. It is part of his birthday gift. I was wondering if you guys could maybe say Happy Birthday to him sometime durning the show. It would be the best birthday ever for him. I know its crazy reguest but its worth a shot. His name is Donny and he is going to be 11. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. And I have my books ready to donate. Have a great night and see you on the 18th in Connecticut, Cant wait!!!!!!!!! Lets get This!!!!!! Rebecca

Hi Joe,
As a kindergarten/dance teacher it’s amazing at the amount of poor quality & inappropriate books there are out for children. We are lucky in Australia that there are quite a few great children’s authors so if you are wanting books from Australia I’m more than happy to bring some to the Melbourne concert as I’m sure your children in the US will love them as much as our kids do.They are easy to read,great moral messages and fantastic illustrations.
I’m actually doing a similar drive at my dance studio for children in Papua New Guinea who can’t afford books,pencils etc so I think it’s a great idea what you are doing and I’m sure all children will thank you!
Regards,
Colleen

Hey Joey!
I was a volunteer at the concert in Saratoga, NY 6/16 - is there any way that Live Nation can put something on the tickets to promote “Let’s Get This?” This would definitely help to collect more books, but you’d just have to make sure there are enough boxes to collect the books in!
This was a great experience - we got a lot of positive feedback from those who brought books to the concert. Some of the children who came with their parents handed us their book - it is wonderful to see the children participating and getting involved with such a wonderful foundation!
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you!
Let’s Get This growing!!!
Lots of Love,
Dorothy

Hi Joe!
This is fantastic! I’ll be seeing you next week in Detroit. I published my first juvenile fiction book in December 2008. I’m happy to bring a bunch of new copies of the first edition, but it’s a middle reader (targeted for ages 7-12). It’s a fairy tale with universal themes though — and would work for younger girls to read with their older siblings or with an adult…and there are illustrations.
Would it seem totally self-promoting if I brought a bunch of copies for the drive? I don’t want to show up to the backstage meet/greet with a box of my own books and look like a dork.

See you soon and much love,

Hey Joey,
I will be bringing a book to the show in Irvine, CA 
One quick question though. I will buy a new book…But does it have to be a book that was written/published in recent years??? Or can i buy a new copy of a book that i loved as a little kid?
I think the Let’s Get This foundation is a great idea! I loved to read as a kid
P.S. If you need my email address, i’d be happy to give it to you
But i’m not sure i wanna post it here for everyone to find.
Much love from California <3

I am so excited that you guys are going to be in Cincinnati Ohio on my birthday!
I last saw NKOTB in Louisville Kentucky in 1990.
However, I noticed that you’re a supporter of literacy for children. Maybe you guys could mention that Ohio’s libraries are in big trouble if proposed cuts are made in the state budget.

Thanks for “listening” and can’t wait to see you guys on Saturday!

Hi there,
My name is Gina Snider, and I am with the Seltzer Elementary PTO in Wichita, KS. I spoke with your wife several times to arrange for the pick-up of some of these donated books. I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was absolutely floored by the opportunity. I counted and sorted the books before taking them to school and counted an AMAZING 909 BOOKS!!! I can’t thank you enough for contacting us! We have a lot of lower income and ESOL students, and we try to collect new/used books for our Kinder class. Our goal every year is to send each of them home with 10 books to call their own, and help them excited about reading. This will be a perfect way to kick that off for the ‘09-’10 school year! I would like to send a proper thank you to you, but I haven’t the slightest idea where to begin getting an address. (If you can, please shoot me an address when you get a chance at davgin3@yahoo.com.) Thanks again! I can’t wait to tell the kids (and parents) about this when school starts in August! You and your fans are THE BEST!!!!
