We are a low income urban school located in Buffalo, NY. Our school is called “Bilingual Center” and we have a diverse population of students. If you are able to send us any books that focus on diverse and multicultural aspects, I am extremely interested. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you SO much for your time!!
Hi Kristin,
The easiest way to get diverse books from us is to sign up to be a reviewer. This opens in Sept and ends Dec 31st. Anyone can sign up and you can get more than one book. In exchange for the book, you need to post a review on public social media. We would greatly appreciate teachers letting students and their families know. Some teachers have helped students post reviews on a classroom blog, for example.
We also give away book bundles during our Read Your World event which will be at 9 pm EST on January 30, 2025. It’s a one hour event and we give away a book bundle every five minutes.
We also have an online auction in the spring with many, many book bundles, typically at a low price.

Hi Kristin – I have a book, Super Jake & the King of Chaos, which is about three brothers, the youngest of whom has special needs. I also have an anthology about Passover. Let me know if you’re interested in either or both!
We have a lot of children from Multiple Spanish speaking countries; India, Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries. Some books to help my older teachers would be of great help.

Hello!
My name is Danielle, and I am a home school mom from Illinois. I am a single mom waiting on disability, and times have been tough. I wasn’t sure if there was a program or something to where the kids in our homeschool group may be able to get some books sent to us? Even coupons or anything would be appreciated. We really appreciate anyone taking the time to read this. If nothing can be done, I totally understand.
Thank you,
Danielle Evans

Hi Soleil,
Thanks for letting us know! Our developers are working on fixing the bug right now. I’ll keep you posted when it’s fixed. So sorry about this!
My name is Gonzalo Díaz, I am an English as a Foreign Language professor.
I currently work in Public Schools one is a primary school and the other is a secondary level institutions. Both schools are located in Villa Carmela in Tucuman. Tucuman is the smallest state in the north of Argentina. And I work in the outskirts of the city, it is not a rural area but it lacks many advantages that urban areas provide. Sometimes we don´t have water at schools, we hope that problem will be solved shortly. I also work at a teacher training college in the south of my state.
I would like to make a special request. I would like to request any material such as slightly damaged books, posters, brochures, pictures, postcards that you may kindly send us. Topics may vary, their level is beginner and pre intermediate level. My students and co workers will deeply appreciate your help.
