Yesterday at the Louisville Central Community Center, NCFL and Half Price Books celebrated the 11th Annual Half Pint Library book giveaway. And what a success! More than 3,000 books were donated to Louisville readers as part of Community Service Day. Children from area programs were invited to take free books home to help build their own libraries. Check out some of the pictures from the day.

First Book is offering NCFL groups priority to apply for books from an upcoming National Book Bank distribution!

The distribution will be hosted this summer in New Jersey and will offer a variety of titles for different age ranges from First Book’s publishing partners, Sterling Publishing and Simon & Schuster, Inc.

Information on applying for the books will go out in early July to all NCFL groups registered with First Book so don’t delay in registering your program!

Author Jan Goldstein was a prominent keynote speaker at NCFL’s Conference in March, and we are excited to announce that today his new book The Bride Will Keep Her Name comes down the aisles of bookstores nationwide. The book is already in its fourth printing…way to go, Jan!
