Book Trust provides books for kids from low-income families—books that they choose themselves and that become their very own.

Studies prove that book choice and ownership inspires a child’s passion for reading and contributes to developing strong literacy skills and becoming life-long learners.

Since 2001, Book Trust has:

• Grown from serving 170 students in Colorado to 25,000 children in nine states
• Helped children choose and own 2.3 million books
• Invested $5.78 million in books for children in need
• Helped teachers earn 33 million bonus points from Scholastic Book Clubs which they can use to purchase additional books and classroom resources
