How do I encourage the First Book National Book Bank to host a book distribution in my community?
The First Book National Book Bank can host a distribution when these four conditions are met:
- A publisher donates a large quantity of books.
- Donated warehouse space is secured.
- Volunteers are available to help with the book distribution.
- Organizations are registered with First Book in the local community to use and distribute the books to their children.
You can help us:
- Find donated warehouse space. We are always looking for operational warehouses that would be willing to host a book distribution. If you have ideas of local warehouses that may be interested in donating warehouse space for a few weeks or months, please contact our First Book National Book Bank team at

for more information.
- Find volunteers to work at a book distribution. One of the key elements to a successful National Book Bank distribution are the volunteers who help sort and organize books. If your organization can help connect us to local volunteers in your community, please let the First Book National Book Bank team know at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
