With more than 475,000 registered members, and growing at an average of 1,000 members each week, First Book is the largest and fastest-growing network of educators in the United States exclusively serving kids in need.

As a registered member of the First Book Community you will have access to brand-new, low-cost books, educational resources, and much more through the First Book Marketplace.

The First Book Marketplace addresses the barriers to education and attendance for kids in need from birth to age 18, including a large collection of relevant diverse and Spanish/bilingual books, school supplies, digital devices, food, clothing, and personal hygiene kits, as well as free teacher resources. Our purpose is to raise the quality of education for all children by ensuring they have access to the resources they need to be successful in school and in life.

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.
