First Book and Jet Blue Soar With Reading!

First Book is excited to be partnered with JetBlue’s “Soar with Reading” program.  Soar with Reading aims to keep children reading throughout the summer, harnessing a combination of in-flight and online literacy resources, community reading events and proving new books to children in need.

For every reader who registered on SoarWithReading.com this summer, JetBlue made a book donation to a child through First Book, totaling 10,000 books.

As a result of this inspiring initiative, the Dundee Township Public Library was able to receive $10,000 in Random House children’s books through First Book.

The book you send may be the only holiday gift a child gets, and helping a child love books makes a lasting difference. Give by December 31 to double your impact through a Matching Challenge Fund from our generous friends at Pizza Hut — twice as many books with a single gift!" There is a red donation button in the lower right corner. On the left side of the graphic is an image of a young girl holding up a book and smiling.
