An optional virtual event can be linked to your book drive to showcase your cause and feature the books, as well. At just $250 in monetary donations or book sales, the book drive will yield 50% in free books with the use of our Literacy for a Lifetime matching grant.

Please note that there is a $250 order minimum to qualify for this program and shipping is free and orders are eligible for tax exemption.

Brittany the Book Lady

I was first introduced to PaperPie (formerly Usborne Books and More) at a young age when my mom had purchased books for our family. I fell in love with the books and the company's mission to promote literacy throughout the country.​
