Real Estate Search and Sale Supports Velocity of Books

Real Estate Search and Sale

For years Real Estate Search and Sale has been supporting the efforts of Velocity of Books. 

Many of the costs have been offset by donors who have taken the books directly to the recipients.

However, there are hard costs that simply can't be avoided.

The help from Real Estate Search and Sale alone is not enough to sustain our mission.  

Kindly contact Carolyn Thompson, 301-674-3056 if you're able to make a monetary donation.

Police Use The Books We Provide To Help Kids In Traumatic Situations

Julian donates books to the Blacksburg Police Station on a periodic basis, to help ensure their officers have enough books. 

The police will use the books when they go on calls, such as domestic violence calls in which kids are in crisis situations.  The books help the kids calm down and minimize the lasting impact that the crises will have on them.  This is also helpful, as the books distract the kids, while the officers work to de-escalate the situations. 


Julian Encourages His Nephew To Read From The Day He's Born

Julian believes it's important to get kids turned on to reading from a young age.  He wants kids to love books as much as he does.
