Welcome to First Book-Charlotte

Giving children in need the opportunity to read and own their first new books!

Books stir the senses, inspire the imagination, and spark a love of reading that can last a lifetime.   
Access to books is essential to reading development, yet many children from low-income families have no books at home or in the childcare centers they attend. There are millions of children waiting for your help. Donate now to put new books into the hands of local children in need.
