Give Books

Check out our Book Guidelines to find out what types of books we can use in our program.

Our program accepts new and like-new children’s books appropriate for Pre-K through 5th grade readers. Donating your books to Books Between Kids will help an at-risk child in Houston to begin building her or his very own library at home!
