Receive Books
Your program may be eligible to receive
books through:
First Book Advisory Boards
First Book Advisory Board volunteers fundraise in their communities
to provide grants of new books to local programs that serve children
from low-income families.
First Book Marketplace
The First Book Marketplace is an online store offering programs
serving children from low-income families the ability to purchase
award-winning books at greatly reduced prices.
First Book National Book Bank
The First Book National Book Bank distributes brand-new books,
donated by publishers, free of charge to programs serving children
from low-income families, or for a minimal shipping fee
The primary goal of First Book is to work with existing community literacy programs to distribute new books to children who, for economic reasons, have little or no access to books. First Book does not provide direct financial support, nor does it provide books to individuals, families, or book drives. Programs interested in receiving books from First Book Advisory Boards must:
