Donations help us hand-curate clean, gently-loved children’s books, share screen-free joy, and build joyful home and classroom libraries. Every contribution helps give more stories a second chapter with a new young reader.

The Book Nook offers a special program designed to support children who could benefit from books. Through this program, donated funds are used to create surprise book bundles that bring magical, cozy reading moments to little readers.

Recipients are nominated by teachers who recognize children that could benefit from books at home. Nominations help us thoughtfully place each bundle where it can offer comfort, imagination, and joy.

Recipients are chosen based on teacher nominations and book availability. Each bundle is curated with care to ensure every child receives clean, gently-loved storybooks suited for ages 2 to 8.

Each donated bundle includes a 5 Book Mini Bear Cub Bundle — a thoughtfully curated set of clean, gently-loved children’s books designed to spark imagination and cozy reading moments.

At this time, nominations are accepted through teachers. If you are an educator interested in nominating a child or classroom, please visit our Second Chapter Reading Program page, and submit your nomination today!

The Book Nook is a small, community-centered program. At this time, donations are not tax-deductible, but every contribution directly supports children and reading.

In addition to donating, you can support The Book Nook by sharing our mission, gifting surprise book bundles, and helping spread the joy of clean, gently-loved storybooks.
