First Book.Com
I came across an interesting site: First Books--giving children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. They are also coordinated with many publishing companies like
Random House, who has donated $1 Million Dollars to First Books.
"As publishing professionals who spend our days surrounded by and immersed in books, it is difficult to imagine a world without them," Random House chairman Peter Olson said in a statement.
How wonderful to know that books will always be shared and that publishing giants such as Random House care for those who have no access to books.
