First Book is a nonprofit organization with a simple mission: to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. Since 1992 First Book has provided more than 55 million new books to children in need through thousands of community-based programs nationwide.

Donate your floor copies and help those in need!
Make sure to stop by the First Book booth in the West Hall (#W3) outside the doors to the Children’s Section to be a part of our 2008 campaign that will deliver record-breaking quantities of books to children in need. As BEA’s charitable partner, First Book accepts all leftover books at the conclusion of the meeting, and will donate them to local literacy programs. There is no cost to exhibitors for participation. Please visit our booth for more details!
