We love Teachers! In order to get more books into the homes of students in low income areas, we are offering free book pick up days for teachers at Title I schools, and other education professionals working with this population to come and get new books to give out to students. Anyone picking up books must show their school ID when picking up the books at our Winter Park location, and must sign up in advance.
We have opened up our program to private schools with a high scholarship percentage, preschools with a high 4C percentage, and teachers in Title I schools in counties surrounding Orange county, as long as they can pick up the books in Winter Park. New dates are added in monthly, and teachers may sign up once a month.

You must be an education professional working with a high percentage of low income students to participate in the Teacher Book Pickup Days.
Sign up must be completed before the date of the pickup.
On the day of the pickup, any unoccupied slots will be deleted.
