FAQ

Q: How do I make sure that my child's school is getting credit for the books we're reading on We Give Books?

Make sure that you enter your school's state and select the correct school name and city on the registration page so that we can track the number of books that your school reads and earns.
Once the reading begins on March 19, read a book to begin giving books to your school. You can always check the number of books that your school has read and earned by visiting your user profile on We Give Books. 

Q: Is there a limit to the number of books each member can read?

There is never a limit to the number of books that an individual can read, or re-read on WeGiveBooks.org. Participants are encouraged to read as many books as they'd like from our free online library of children's books.

 

Q: When will books be delivered to school districts?

We will make every attempt to deliver books by the end of the current school year.
