First Book provides new books to children in need, addressing one of the most important factors affecting literacy access to books. An innovative leader in social enterprise, each year First Book distributes millions of free and low-cost books to disadvantaged children and the programs that serve them.

The Lewis-Clark State College Campus Advisory Board is part of First Book’s national network of community volunteers who support First Book’s mission. Comprised of volunteers from all sectors of the community, the First Book LCSC Campus Advisory Board works to promote and facilitate the distribution of new books to literacy programs in the area served by Lewis Clark State College including Lapwai, Grangeville, Orofino, Kooskia, Kamiah, Clarkston, Asotin and surrounding areas.

Book Grant Recipients

First Book-LCSC has distributed book grants to many programs in the Nez Perce, Lewis, Idaho & Clearwater Counties in Idaho and Asotin County in Washington.  

There are three ways in which First Book distributes books: through a network of volunteer Advisory Boards located across the country, through the First Book National Book Bank, and through the First Book Marketplace.

First Book-LCSC which has distributed book grants to many programs in the Nez Perce, Lewis, Idaho & Clearwater Counties in Idaho and Asotin County in Washington,  provides new books to children through eligible community organizations like preschools, day care, after-school, and tutoring/mentoring programs. We accept book grant applications from local literacy programs that serve 70% or more children from low-income households. The children take home and keep the books that they receive.
