Ready to Read Book Drive

Help spark imagination and curiosity for learning beyond the classroom!

Reading is the foundation of all learning, but half of Orange County public school students are reading below grade level.

You can help by keeping our Free Teacher Supply Store stocked with books for teachers to shop at no cost.

Each month, our teachers take an average of 5,000 books back to their students and classroom libraries to ensure each child has access to reading materials they need to be ready to read and learn. We accept new and gently used reading books for K-12 reading levels, including books in Spanish as well as dictionaries.

We do not accept books of religious or explicit nature, encyclopedias, or textbooks.
