Donate to Adopt a Book, and your 100% of your donation goes toward giving books to those in the Greater Cincinnati area that need it most.
How it Works:
- You donate.
- We buy books.
- Those that need it, get books.
We collect monetary donations from our community.
Then, we field book requests from those in need in our community. We often partner with schools, daycare centers, nursing homes, and more. These organizations let us know what types of books they need. Then, we purchase new books that are delivered right to their door.
We believe in gifting new books to our partners because we’re able to order the titles, genres, languages, and topics that they specifically need and request – instead of whatever happens to be donated or offered as overstock from a big box store. For example, some daycare centers desire board books in Spanish, while some teachers need a new classroom library with specific reading levels.
We work with a locally owned, independent bookstore, Bike Trail Books, to place all book orders. Their booksellers ensure we fulfill all requested titles and subjects, but they also provide additional and relevant title recommendations for each of our partners. By working with Bike Trail Books, we are able to purchase books at wholesale prices and donate as many books as possible. Additionally, we love working with and supporting a bookstore from our own community.
