First Book

First Book provides children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. The children can be up to 18 years old. Your program may be eligible to receive books through:

1. First Book Advisory Boards - volunteers fundraise in their communities to provide grants of new books to local programs that serve children from low-income families.


2. First Book Marketplace - is an online store offering programs serving children from low-income families the ability to purchase award-winning books at greatly reduced prices.


3. First Book National Book Bank - distributes brand-new books, donated by publishers, free of charge to programs serving children from low-income families, or for a minimal shipping fee.
