Budding Readers Benefits from TWO Ongoing Book Grants
    Ongoing grants for high-quality new books have been awarded to Budding Readers by two national foundations, The Lisa Libraries and First Book National Book Bank.     
    The Lisa Libraries has given over 300,000 books to nonprofit organizations serving needy children across the country.    
     First Book has given over 80 million books to programs and schools serving children from low-income families throughout the US and Canada.     
    We are very grateful to receive these books and to be able to give them to our Budding Readers families.
