We are so proud of what your support has been able to do for our Non-Profit partners.  So far we have:

  • Raised over $6 million for Literacy
    • $3.5 million for over 80 literacy and education nonprofits
    • $2.5 million for libraries and thrift stores nationwide
  • Contributed more than $1.3 million to college service clubs who have run book drives
  • Directly sent more than 1.3 million books to Books for Africa, the National Center for Family Literacy, and Feed the Children
  • Collected over 20 million books through active book drives at over 1,800 colleges and universities and collections from over 1,500 libraries

With your help, Books for Africa, Invisible Children, Worldfund, Room to Read and the National Center for Family Literacy are doing amazing things to increase literacy around the world!

Thanks!  And please keep spreading the word!
