First Book, Team University of Idaho

First Book, Team University of Idaho provides Latah County limited-income students with the magic of owning their own books and helps them build personal libraries at home.

The Mission of First Book, a national non-profit, is to put NEW books into the homes of limited-income children locally, so they can build home libraries and develop their reading skills.  First Book encourages college students to form First Book teams to involve them in fundraising and literacy activities in which they interact with young children and elementary-aged students. The First Book Team at UI has been active since 2004.
