Donate Books
Donate new or gently used preschool books. Ready Readers always needs high-quality preschool books for our volunteers, children and preschool classrooms. Whether or not you can bring us books from your home or host a book drive, your donation is greatly appreciated. If you are interested in donating books, contact Nora Steele, Program Assistant, at 314-564-8070 or email her at nora@readyreaders-stlouis.com
We welcome new and gently used picture books which can be read aloud to preschool children, ages 2-5.
We can use fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc.; but the books you donate should be big enough for a class to see all the pictures. The book should have pictures on nearly every page, and the picture should occupy far more space than the words. We are a non-sectarian organization and do not use books about any religion or religious holiday.
We only use books that can be read aloud to very young children.
We do not use activity books, coloring books, jigsaw puzzles and toys.
We do not use books for children who are already reading – such as easy readers, chapter books, novels, etc.
Please see our booklist for titles we would like to have.
Please call us at 314-564-8070 or email Nora at nora@readyreaders-stlouis.com with any additional questions and to arrange for pick up/delivery.
