20,000 BOOKS GIVEN OUT!

We gave out our 20,325th book this week at Bransford Elementary School. It was a great feeling. This is the school where we first started reading and giving out books. We now have a relationship with the children, families, and teachers at the school. We have helped build home libraries for the children and they are excited to pick up a new book each time we visit the school. We realized this week how important the support we've received from the school staff has been in encouraging My Own Book.

YOU Could Give Out the 20,000th Book to a Less Fortunate Child!

My Own Book is dedicated to spreading the joy of reading by visiting K-3rd Grade classrooms, reading aloud, and letting the children choose from a selection of brand new books. It is fun and easy to do and we are always looking for volunteers to help. All you need to do to get involved is:

1. Identify a local school with needy children or a library that serves underprivileged kids.
2. Set up a time/date to read to them (by talking with the principal or head librarian)
3. Contact us and tell us how many books/bookplates you need and we will ship them out to you
4. Have the event!
