Help bring a truckload of books to Montgomery County!Thanks to the support of First Book partners Disney Children's Publishing and Hyperion, we have the opportunity to bring a truckload – yes, 40,000! – books to kids in Montgomery County. The truck will carry dozens of titles that are of interest to pre-readers up through high school. This would be an amazing gift to our community’s kids. Ten communities across the country will receive this awesome gift. To bring the books here, however, we need to raise $10,000 to cover the out of pocket costs associated with the delivery and register 150 new groups to join our existing participating groups in this unique distribution opportunity.
