The Story of Blue for Books

In partnership with KPMG’s Family for Literacy program and non-profit organization First Book, the Blue for Books program will make a donation of 3 books per hat to help children in need. In many cases, this will be each child’s very first book. To learn more about KPMG’s Family for Literacy and how we partner with First Book, watch the story of Blue For Books.

State of Literacy Initiative - First Book

Make Your State a State of Literacy
First Book Blog: Nov 26, 2008 by Katie B.

First Book’s State of Literacy Initiative is an exciting, results-driven campaign uniting private-sector, education and community leaders with a common purpose: to raise literacy levels statewide.

Launching in four pilot states, California, Illinois, Ohio and West Virginia, First Book’s goal is to raise $500,000 per state to bring 200,000 books to community programs, providing these programs with permanent access to educational resources from the First Book.

Get involved! First Book is looking for grassroots funders, partners, volunteers and book recipients. Visit the State of Literacy Web page to learn more about our work in your state and how you can participate.
