20,951 books found new homes at our September Book Fair! 📚❤️
Despite the rain, 75 teachers and nonprofit professionals joined us to select books for their classrooms, programs, and communities.

And their words say it best:

💬 “My classroom was in great need of books for my students.”

💬 “Spanish books feel like a blessing.”

💬 “I felt very seen and heard... I’m elated!”

This is why we do what we do. Every book we distribute helps create more opportunities for children to read, learn, imagine, and grow.

Thank you to everyone who made this Book Fair possible. 20,951 books are now headed to readers who need them most!

What if a small monthly gift could help a child build their own bookshelf?

When you become a Book Fairies Page Turner, your monthly donation gives us the reliable support we need to get books into the hands of children who need them most, all year long.

💙 $12 a month = 12 new books for children over the course of a year.

That’s one book every month.
One new story.
One more opportunity to read, learn, imagine, and grow.

And it doesn’t stop at $12. Whether you give $10, $25, $50 or more each month, your ongoing support helps us plan ahead and make sure we can continue putting books where they are needed most.

Turn the page on illiteracy. Become a Page Turner today. 📖

As we welcome Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish New Year, we’re reminded of the power of new beginnings, hope, and the ways we can make a difference in the year ahead.

At Book Fairies, every book passed from one reader to another creates a new opportunity to learn, to imagine, to grow, and to dream. 📖✨

This year, we hope you’ll join us in spreading that spirit of generosity by helping put books into the hands of children and communities who need them most.

🍎 Give the gift of literacy
🍯 Share the sweetness of reading
📚 Donate books
🤝 Volunteer with us
💙 Support our mission

May the year ahead be filled with health, happiness, peace, and countless new chapters.

Wishing you and your loved ones a sweet and meaningful New Year from all of us at Book Fairies.

Today, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who showed extraordinary courage and compassion.

In the years since, we’ve seen how acts of kindness can bring people together, strengthen communities, and remind us of what connects us.

Today, we remember.
Today, we honor.
Today, we choose kindness.

Charity is about more than giving. It’s about what your giving makes possible.

With International Charity Day this week, we’re taking a moment to celebrate everyone who gives their time, resources, and energy to make their communities a little better.

At Book Fairies, we see that impact every day.

A donated book can become a child’s new favorite story. A volunteer can help us sort hundreds of books. A donation can help us get new books into the hands of children who need them most.

There are so many ways to be part of the mission:

📚 Donate books
🤝 Volunteer your time
💙 Make a gift
📦 Start a book drive
🏫 Support a Book Fair

Whatever way you choose to give, thank you for helping us put Children, Books, and Reading first.

Want to get involved? We’d love to have you be part of the Book Fairies community! 📖

A big thank you to our friends at ThriftBooks for donating 5,000 books to Book Fairies!

This generous donation comes at the perfect time as we celebrate International Literacy Day and World Charity Day this week. With our book supply running low, these 5,000 books came at just the right moment!

Their continued support helps us keep our shelves stocked and get more books into the hands of children, like Sara Ann, families, schools, and communities who need them most.

Books aren’t just for the classroom—they’re for recess, imagination, fun, and everywhere in between! 💙

We loved this sweet thank you from a class from Glen Cove who told us we’re helping make recess more fun. Seeing books bring joy beyond the classroom is exactly why we do what we do!
