At a Book Drive for Kids book fair, every child chooses and keeps a brand-new book for free.
Every book is brand-new; the excitement of a gift that is shiny and new.
Students get to choose their own books to read, they are not chosen for them.
They get to keep the book forever and build a home library.
Our mission is to promote literacy in North Texas by holding free book fairs for youth in low-income communities.

We work with qualifying Title I elementary schools across Dallas–Fort Worth, where the need is greatest.

We bring a curated selection of brand-new, age-appropriate books right to the school.

Students visit in class groups and choose the book they want to take home and keep forever.

Every fair is fully funded by sponsors. There is no cost to the school or family.
Nearly nine in ten children say they are more likely to finish a book they picked out themselves. (Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report, 7th ed.)
We always have a great time with Book Drive and our students constantly ask when they are coming back. One student mentioned that our Book Drive event inspired her to try a chapter book for the first time and she loves them now!
