Make My Gift

This Holiday Season, the Gift of a Book Can Change a Life

For many children, the book you give could be their only holiday gift—and possibly the first book they’ve ever owned. Books have the power to ignite a lifelong love of reading and learning, opening doors to brighter futures. Will you share your love of books and make a meaningful difference this holiday season?

Why Give Now?

This year, your generosity goes even further thanks to our incredible partners:

Pizza Hut will double every dollar you donate up to $100,000 through December 31st.
The Guru Krupa Foundation will double every dollar you donate up to $10,000 through December 31st.
Mary Pope Osborne will double every dollar you donate up to $50,000 through December 31st.

Your gift has twice the power to bring books and joy to kids who need them most.

Multiply Your Impact

We are the lowest income school in a Title I school district. The impact is great for our students. Getting a NEW book they get to keep is important to them. By giving a book to the teacher as well, many teachers form lessons around the book and engage the students in the materials so they can enjoy their books.
First Book Member

For many kids, it will be the first book they have ever owned or the only gift they will receive during the holidays. The sense of self-esteem that comes, and the fact that it also furthers their academic possibilities, make the gift of a book invaluable.
