How It Works

BookMentors is the place where donors and teachers give, get, and talk books.

With a few simple clicks, experience the joy of donating a needed book to a specific classroom. View the books requested and select them to donate. An order confirmation, shipping alert—even a thank-you note from the teacher—will follow via email.

BookMentors allows donors and teachers to talk directly to each other, and to share and exchange insights on books!

By donating to BookMentors you are giving teachers the tools they need to develop both skills and a love of reading in their students.
