First Book offers 20,000 books to after school programs

The Afterschool Alliance is teaming up with First Book to bring approximately 20,000 new books to afterschool programs this spring.

Through support from a generous sponsor, 50 Afterschool Alliance programs will each receive $1,000 to purchase brand new books from the First Book Marketplace — an online store that provides high quality new books to schools and programs serving children from low–income families.

Programs serving 70 percent or more children in need are eligible to register with First Book. Registration is free and takes just minutes to complete. During registration be sure to indicate your affiliation with Afterschool Alliance and select one of the four following criteria to determine if you are eligible for this grant opportunity: census poverty data, HUD guidelines, WIC eligibility requirements or head start eligibility requirements.

Grant recipients will be notified by First Book via email. Register here.
