 | | The One Dollar Campaign
BooksFirst! has always believed in fiscal responsibility, and during
this recession, we want to reaffirm our commitment to maximizing every
single dollar our supporters donate. That’s why we are only asking for a donation of one dollar. Every dollar donated to BooksFirst! ensures that a student in a under-resourced classroom will have access to handful of new and lightly worn books. We thank you for your generosity. |

 | | | By the time they are 9 years old, students in some of America’s most under-resourced communities are reading three grade levels below their more affluent peers. |

 | | BooksFirst! is a nonprofit organization that collects and distributes high-quality books to under-resourced classrooms— enabling students to become lifelong readers by developing, enhancing, and enriching their literacy skills.
In 2008, BooksFirst! distributed more than 14,000 books to classrooms and teachers in 12 states. To date BooksFirst! has benefitted thousands of students across 20 states and the District of Columbia.
