Who is
Books between Kids?
Over 90,000 elementary school children in Houston ISD qualify for free or reduced lunch based on federal income standards. For many of these children, books in their homes are a luxury, not a reality.
Children who have the privilege of their own home libraries can donate the books they have finished reading to help other children in Houston. This is a peer to peer philanthropic effort that even small children can easily understand and enjoy participating. We have grown from a small organization that impacts a few hundred children to one that has distributed more than 3 million books throughout Greater Houston.
Children often become first-time book owners because of Books Between Kids. We primarily distribute books through our school partners program where we partner with local elementary schools or early childhood centers to hold book celebrations.
At each celebration, every child gets to select six books to take home and keep. Think school BOOKFAIR type events that allow these children to pick books that are of interest to them.
What types of books will be collected?
New, gently used, kids books grades K-5
(story books, chapter books, dual language, non-fiction, board/toddler books)
What types of books WILL NOT be accepted?
Books in poor condition or with writing, religious books, work/sticker/activity books, reference books, parenting books, DVDs/CDs.
Is there a wishlist where I can purchase NEW books?
YES!! Here is their amazon wishlist https://a.co/7ximkIe
Is there a limit to the number of books I can donate?
NOPE!
Do they need to be bagged or boxed?
YES, please! Preferably boxed if you have a lot.
I have some young adult and adult books. Can you accept those?
Yes, BUT, please bag them up separately and let us know at drop off. They will be donated to a completely different organization.
I can’t attend the event but have books I’d like to donate. Can I still drop them off?
ABSOLUTELY! We will have a table setup from 10:00-2:00 pm outside The Derm Project on the day of the event. After that you can drop them off INSIDE The Derm Project until 5:00 pm on Saturday, August 22nd.
