Subject: Fwd: Free books for students in Title I schools 





First Book is working with a corporate partner to distribute hundreds of thousands 
of books in four cities:  DC, LA, Chicago, Dallas.  As you can see from the 
attached flier, the title list really is incredible—tons of Newbery and Caldecott 
award winners along with other classics no child should grow up without.  Plus, 
the best part is that these books (as well as the shipping of these books) is 
completely FREE to Title I schools.  
  
So, I’d love it if you could share this information with other TFA folks in DC 
(or Chicago, LA, and Dallas).  In your specific situation, my suggestion would be 
to speak with your principal or school librarian about the total number of students 
in your school so that you could apply for books for the entire school instead of 
just your classroom—we don’t want to leave anyone out!  

The first thing you will need to do is to register with First Book ( 
http://booksforkids.firstbook.org/register/ ) and then you can apply.  Please note 
however that these books will go QUICKLY.  I would suggest applying in the next 
two days; books will be allocated on a first come-first served basis.  If you have 
any questions let me know or feel free to contact our HELP team at 
HELP@firstbook.org . 
  
All best wishes—and looking forward to seeing you soon.
