Give Books 

Donate books to the Reach Out and Read program, or sponsor a book drive at your workplace, church, or children’s school.

In keeping with Reach Out and Read’s philosophy that every child deserves high quality books, these guidelines will assist you with your donation.

• Used books must be gently worn (covers and pages intact, clean and readable).

• Our highest priority is books for children between the ages of birth to five years, however some books for older children are also accepted.

• Books about sensitive issues like divorce, abuse or death cannot be accepted. 

• We also accept donations of new books.  ROR has a list of recommended titles to choose from, carefully selected to meet the needs of children served by Reach Out and Read.

To schedule a book drive or make a book donation, please contact Alan Taylor at (602) 266-5976 or ataylor@swhd.org.
