Get Involved / Donate Books

Put a book in a family's hands.

When you buy a book from our Bookshop.org wishlist, it doesn’t sit on a shelf. It goes directly into the community programs we run with families, caregivers, and young people across the nation.

Where your books go

Program 01

LIFT

Multilingual book kits for young children and caregivers, distributed through WIC offices, housing centers, and clinics.

Program 02

Community Programs

Books embedded in the everyday spaces where families already spend time — clinics, laundromats, housing centers.

Program 03

School Partnerships

Reaching young people and families without easy library access, through the schools they already attend.

What makes this different from a typical book drive

Chosen with care, not collected at random.

Titles reflect the languages, cultures, and ages of the families we serve.

Given, not lent.

These books are gifts. Kids take them home and keep them.

Delivered where families already are.

WIC offices, laundromats, clinics, and schools — so reading becomes part of everyday life.

Every purchase supports our programs — and the independent bookstores that, like libraries, keep books within reach.
