Are you a teacher or community organization that can’t get to the Book Bank or would like free books?

We are happy to provide free boxes of books to teachers who cannot book a visit to one of our locations and to Toronto organizations that are far away from our spaces, such as food banks, EarlyON Centres, and other social services, for use in their own programs.
