When Seema saw Book Fairies’ call for book donations, she took action! She spread the word throughout Plainview, gathered books from the community, and personally delivered an impressive 22 boxes of books to our warehouse. Her initiative is a wonderful example of how one person can make a meaningful difference. We’re incredibly grateful to Seema for helping us collect more books and bring the joy of reading to children and communities in need!

Our October Community Book Fair made history! We distributed 41,459 books in one day, surpassing our previous record of 35,000 books. That’s 6,459 more books finding their way to educators and the communities they serve!

Every book selected represents another opportunity for a child to discover a new story, build their reading skills, and fall in love with reading. ❤️

This record-breaking day wouldn’t have been possible without the educators who joined us, the volunteers who helped make it happen, and everyone who supports our mission to get books into the hands of those who need them most.
A special thank you to Daughters of Wisdom, US Delegation for sponsoring this months book fair!

Thank you for helping us turn the page on illiteracy, one book at a time. Here's to getting even more books where they belong!
