Give a Kid a Book –
The Give a Kid a Book program donates more than 4,000 books a year to local agencies such as the Early Learning Centers, Community Table, Head Start Programs, Eau Claire School District, and many more, who then distribute the books to families in need. The goal is for every child to receive a new book during the holiday season.
You can help in several ways:
1. Donations can be dropped off at the Friends of the Library Bookstore or find the Seasonal Bear display in the library during book drive season (November/December).
- Fiction & non-fiction books for ages 6-18
- Picture books for ages 2-5
- Board or cloth books for babies
2. Let us shop for you!
Mail your check to:

3. Other ways to donate
