 | A fiver for a forklift, please! Call it a fin, a five-spot, | |
| or plain five dollars, please contribute $US 5.00 right now to help us purchase a new forklift! We need to go from the image at top right to the one just below it, so we can safely and efficiently continue receiving and repacking books! Just click below to chip in your five! |
| The International Book Bank works with non-profit | |
| literacy programs in the developing world to supply them with high-quality new books and educational materials. Our books go to children, the ill, and the indigent, in places where there is no access to books. We get our books from generous publishers and authors throughout North America. It comes down to this: we redistribute our great book wealth to Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and Latin America - and keep those books out of landfills. |
| Could your company, church, or civic organization | |
| sponsor a shipment of books? We often get requests for donated books from worthy programs |
- that lack the resources to cover the costs. Please
contact sponsor (at) internationalbookbank.org to
learn about shipment sponsorship opportunities.
| Heard about the "on-line bookstore with a soul"? | |
| Better World Books sells books on-line to fund literacy initiatives worldwide. To learn more about struggles in places outside North America, check out IBB's recommended reading list: |
- Ishmael Beah, A Long Way Gone
Helene Cooper, The House at Sugar Beach
Edwidge Danticat, Breath, Eyes, Memory
Masha Hamilton, The Camel Bookmobile
Dinaw Mengestu, The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears
Greg Mortensen & David Relin, Three Cups of Tea
- Then click through here to get the books, and BWB
donates a portion of your purchase to the IBB!
