First Book in Lansing: 450,000 New Books Going to Kids Around the Country

The First Book team has had a busy summer, bringing books to Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Claysburg PA and the National Mall in Washington DC – with more to come.

We do lots of major books distributions, and we try to hold them across the country so that schools and programs that can’t afford the shipping costs for the free books can still get what they need for the kids that they serve.

This week? We’re in Lansing – capital of the great state of Michigan and home to the Lansing Lugnuts – and we’ve got 450,000 brand-new books that we’re distributing to schools and programs across the country.

If you’re in the neighborhood, drop by and say hello. As you can see, we’ve got quite a few books to move.
