Grow A Reader

Buy A Book. Grow A Reader.

It’s a staggering statistic — nearly 2 out of 3 children in low-income Arizona communities do not have a single children’s book to call their own.

When you donate books through the Grow a Reader program, you help address this need, help children and families foster a love for reading together and improve literacy among young children in our state.

Participating is easy: simply click on the books you love and add them to the cart — or choose one of our convenient book bundles.  When you’re done, click the view cart/checkout button to finalize your donation.

Your donation helps set children up for success in school… and in life!  PLUS, Grow A Reader virtual book drive donations are also eligible for the dollar-for-dollar Arizona Charitable Tax Credit.

Thank you for your support!
