Delaware is teaming up with nonprofit First Book to bring 40,000 free books to kids in need this month.
The partnership kicks off Saturday, with family events at Brandywine High School and North Georgetown Elementary School.
There’s a limit of 50 books per classroom, and 10 books per kid.
Teachers from Title I or Title-I eligible schools and others who serve children in need can register to attend at firstbook.org/firststate.
Registration also gives them access to the First Book Marketplace, with thousands of books available at a discount as well as the National Book Bank, which provides boxes of books for only the cost of shipping.
First Book is the largest and fastest growing network of educators exclusively serving kids in need – and since 1992 has distributed more than 150 million books and developed a network of more than 275,000 teachers.
