First Book is a national nonprofit organization with a single mission: to give disadvantaged children the opportunity to read and own their first new books. The primary goal of First Book is to work with existing literacy programs to distribute new books to children who, for economic or other reasons, have little or no access to books. In this way, First Book effectively leverages the heroic efforts of local tutoring, mentoring, and family literacy organizations, as they work to reach children who need help the most. |
