    Judith, you are in luck! First Book has a sister organization in Canada, and they’d love to work with you – as a volunteer, a supporter or a teacher who needs books for your students.

    Check out http://www.firstbookcanada.org to learn more.

    What a great program. Books can be so expensive and can really create rift between economic classes. Libraries are funded by taxes so libraries in richer areas have much better books and services than libraries in poorer areas. I hope that this infographic goes viral so this organization can really get going!
