Thank you! Thank you to our many donors in 2012! With your generous contributions, we have raised over $15,000 to be granted to deserving children in Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware Counties. This past year we have already donated over 3,200 books to children in need and look forward to granting to new Recipient Groups. Book Grant Recipients A typical book grant lasts for a one-year period and offers each child in the program a steady diet of books (usually one book per month), all at no cost to the program. Because program administrators select the titles through First Book catalogs, our book grants enable programs — often for the first time — to select books to integrate into curriculum. Find out How to Receive Books for your organization. First Book Wants You! We are looking for passionate, entrepreneurial people who want to make a difference in their community. Help us get books to kids who need them most. You may contact us via email at this address: centralmontgomery@firstbook.org.
