We Asked, You Answered: First Book Research & Insights in 2019

Educators drive everything we do here at First Book. From the books and resources on the First Book Marketplace to the teacher tools we create, every step we take is informed by the feedback we gather from the First Book community of educators via First Book Research & Insights.
