Every time you purchase a book, we donate a book to someone in need.
Spread Literacy Around the World
Do you like to read? Of course you do you’re reading right now. Literacy helped you get into college. It’s why you’re here. And it’s also why we’re here—with $27 million raised for libraries and literacy partners, we hope to open doors for people around the world. (But don’t take our word for it)
“Running with Better World Books is a no-brainer; you can raise money and help enlighten the masses in your own small way.”– James Hooper, Santa Clara University
We match every purchase on our website with a book donation to someone in need – Book for Book. Thus far, we’ve donated over 13 million books to partner programs around the world.
You can decide which literacy partner you want your collected textbooks to support.
