Become a Book Trust School

New to Book Trust? Learn more about how we can build a nation of readers together!

By becoming a Book Trust school, you will join a nationwide network of educators and school administrators making access to books possible for all students.

For more than 20 years, we’ve collaborated with schools and districts across the US to create sustainable classroom routines that foster opportunities for student choice, validate student interest through celebrating book ownership, and support teachers as they facilitate joyful reading experiences.

We will bring 700,000+ books to students this school year. With your school’s or district’s partnership, we can do more next school year.
