No matter the amount, your donation makes a difference. You can choose to make a one-time gift or make a monthly contribution.
For as little as $35, you can provide 40 books to a qualifying classroom or agency in great need.
Consider starting a collection with friends and family. Giving amounts of $150 delivers 200 books, and $200 doubles the amount to 400 books.
All books are produced by Ohio State educators and literacy experts.
