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.
Teachers who volunteer may pick up free books for their students.
New Books are limited by the number of students and the stock on hand.
Very Good Used Books are unlimited.
You may sign up for one slot each month.
AUGUST DATES - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
VOLUNTEER DAYS - AUGUST 4, 5 & 6
This is a pre-planning week for OCPS teachers, so we have no idea what your schedule is like. But, we had a huge delivery of new books on Friday, and we need help stickering and shelving. Do you want to be the first to see what books came in, and have first chance to snag some? Volunteer slots are ONE HOUR slots from 2-6 pm on August 4, 5, and 6. After your volunteer hour (or hours if you sign up for more than one slot), you can pick up 2 free new books per student and as many used books as you like.
TEACHER FREE BOOK PICK UP DATES - AUGUST 10, 19, AND 25
These are the regular half hour slots just to pick up books. There should be enough for each teacher to pick up 2 new books per student, and as many used books as you like. They are half hour slots from 3-6 pm on August 10, 19, and 25.
Whichever one you come to, it counts as your monthly book pick up, but you can come back each month!
Don't forget, you get 3 rewards points for each volunteer hour, and 1 point for every 10 used books you take. You also get a point if you refer another teacher, and they come in and get books. Look on our Facebook or Instagram page for rewards details.
Slots are available for 5 teachers each hour (One Hour Volunteer slots)
or half hour (Teacher Free Book Pick Up).
