Last school year, @philly_schools students chose more than 161,000 books to add to their personal libraries through the Book Trust program!

“Students are so excited to choose and receive their books and always ask when their books will arrive,” a Philadelphia Book Trust teacher shared. “We are so happy and grateful to know that over the year, students are able to increase their libraries at home with books they are interested in.”

Did you know? Book Trust was born in Colorado ove

Did you know?

Book Trust was born in Colorado over 20 years ago, starting with just 170 students in Larimer County.

Looking back on the past year, there is so much to be grateful for here at Book Trust—especially in Colorado!

Thanks to the generosity of Coloradans last Colorado Gives Day, here’s what the community made possible in 57 schools across the state during the last school year:

- 906 teachers facilitated book choice

- 20,033 students chose books

- 218,129 books added to personal libraries

Together, we’re building a generation of readers across Colorado! We are so grateful.

Save the date: Colorado Gives Day is December 10th! We’re on a mission to provide all children equitable access to books of choice in order to promote reading motivation and engagement. We hope you’ll join us! 💙

“Can you play croquet?”

What was the book that shaped your childhood?

For our President & CEO, @patiencepeabody, it was “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” by Dr. Suess!

She was given the book when she was 10 years old, during a time in her life that was filled with lots of uncertainty.

This book sparked dreams of a bigger future and decades later, it still sits on her shelf.

Now, we want to hear yours!

In honor of National Family Literacy Month, check out these family reading engagement ideas shared by Book Trust teachers! ⬇️

“I would have monthly family literacy nights where parents come in to read the new books with their children.”

“I would like to have my students do a genre study focused on fiction, poetry, and informational text. Afterward, they would create a display and presentation for their parents and other students.”
