First Book
First Book is giving children from low-income families 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 children in need.
In September 2005, First Book committed to bring 5,000,000 new books to the communities devastated by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. With your help we reached our goal.
Join us now to join First Book and all of our partners who made Book Relief possible as we celebrate the distribution of our five millionth new book along the Gulf Coast. Please join us.
