At First Book we imagine a world one day where programs serving children in need have everything they need to engage the children in the power of books, and can release them into the world as successful participants in our global community, flying under the success of their own power.

And, to help make that happen, we’re proud to be a beneficiary of the African Diaspora Inaugural Ball, on Sunday, January 18th 2009, in the luxurious Harman Center for the Arts in downtown Washington, DC.

In conjunction with the event, First Book will donate 44,000 books in honor of the inauguration of our 44th President of the United States to local, national and international programs serving children in need.

First Book believes in reaching every child across our nation and around the world with the transformational power of books and education. Find out more about this event by visiting http://www.ad4change.org/.
