Eligible programs must serve predominantly low-income children and meet First Book’s eligibility requirements When the books are made available, registered Recipient Groups in Kentucky will receive email notification inviting them to apply. Though the “What Book Got You Hooked?” distribution is limited to programs in Kentucky, First Book holds 25-30 distributions a year all over the country. Once registered, programs will receive email notifications from First Book about when these distributions are open for application. 1. Register your program to receive books from First Book now. Registration is free and takes only minutes. 2. If you have any questions about registering, please contact our Help Team at [email protected]. 3. First Book is looking for donated warehouse space in Kentucky to temporarily store the 50,000 books. Please contact Tabitha Blackwell at [email protected] if you know of possible warehouse space. Awesome job all.
