Apply to Receive Free Books for Your Classroom

At Joy for Books, our mission is to champion culturally diverse children’s books as a pathway to literacy! As a 501(c)(3) non-profit literacy organization, we are committed to fostering inclusivity by donating high-quality BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) children’s books to schools and other educational organizations. Each book donation will comprise 10 high-quality books of your choice. These donations will be either shipped or hand-delivered directly to selected schools. Furthermore, Joy for Books will collaborate with chosen schools to coordinate a book donation and reading event, whenever possible.

To be considered for our free book donation program during the 2025-2026 school year, return in January 2025 to complete the application process. In the meantime, consider following us on social media. See the links above.
