It is the mission of Books Between Kids to build home libraries for economically disadvantaged children in Houston. All students at our partner schools attend a Book Celebration on their campus where they each pick out 6 books to take home and keep.
You are invited to submit the following application to be considered as one of the campuses we include in our program for the 2023-24 school year. Schools are selected based on need, geographic location, and the ability to host a Book Celebration and incorporate the program into a larger campus-wide literacy focus. This application will allow us to get a better understanding of your campus so that we can serve your students more effectively.
Each year, thousands of volunteers spend time in the BBK warehouse sorting, counting, and packing new and gently used books. Collecting new and gently used donations allows us to provide the community with access to thousands of different titles and a variety of books for all interests, ages, and reading levels. BBK believes every child deserves to be a book owner.
Please note that priority is given to economically disadvantaged schools.

DEADLINE: Tuesday, October 3, 5:00 PM.
