Help Us Find Books That Change Lives
Great books shouldn't be out of reach.
The Kind Impact Book Scout Program helps us discover affordable books that can be used in reading carts, literacy initiatives, community programs, and book bundles.
Whether you're browsing a thrift store, attending a library sale, or spotting books at a garage sale, you can help us bring more books into the hands of readers.
What Is A Book Scout?
A Book Scout is someone who keeps an eye out for books that may be a good fit for Kind Impact programs.
Book Scouts may:
Identify books at thrift stores
Find books at garage sales and estate sales
Share library sale opportunities
Connect us with book donations
Help locate specific genres or titles
Recommend books for reading carts and literacy projects
You do not need any special experience to participate.
If you love books and enjoy treasure hunting, you may be a great fit.
