Today marks a huge milestone for us, for you, and for everyone who believes in the power of a book—as well as the potential for business to do real, tangible good in the world.
As of October 15, 2013, your purchases have enabled us to raise a cumulative $15 Million for Literacy.
Right on the heels of our biggest book donation week comes proof that the way you choose to buy books makes a difference for many, many lives. Part of the cost of the books you consume becomes funding for our Nonprofit Literacy Partners; for the libraries we’re proud to partner with; for the high-impact projects funded by our annual LEAP Grants (Literacy and Education in Action Program).
Was it really ten years ago that it all started with putting a few textbooks up for sale on the internet? Today we stand back and marvel at the momentum you’ve put behind good business.
