My Own Book

My Own Book is a non-profit organization that gives away brand new books to underprivileged children in local communities. My Own Book team members visit K-3rd grade classrooms where they read an age-appropriate book aloud, talk about the benefits of the public library, and then let each child choose their very own book to take home. To cement the idea that each book is the child’s very own, My Own Book puts a bookplate in the cover of each book with the child’s name on it. My Own Book, also hosts special events throughout the year around the country to spread the joy of reading. My Own Book is always looking to expand.
