First Book-Tampa Bay, FL

About Us

First Book is a nonprofit organization with a single mission: to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books.

First Book-Tampa Bay was formed in 2007 to improve literacy among children from low-income families, and as a result, help grow their entire education. The majority of children from these families have no books at all in their homes or classrooms. Children from low-income families with no books enter school at a great disadvantage.

We are currently looking for Recipient Groups in the Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco county areas. If you represent a children's group in need or would like to get involved with First Book-Tampa Bay on an individual or corporate level, please contact us today.
