Better World Books

What is Better World Books?

  • A for profit company that collects used text books and then sells them online to raise money for their literacy partners.
  • Some other literary organizations that are part of Better World Books are Books for Africa, Invisible Children, PLAN, Room to Read etc.

What Can I Do to Help?

  • Hold a book drive on your campus to collect old and used textbooks
  • Decorate bookmarks with information about BWB and where students can donate books; hand them out to students in place of flyers.
  • Dress up as your favorite book character and storm the dorms. Knock on doors and inform people about your book drive!
  • Hold a Dr. Seuss or Harry Potter study break where students can come relax, participate in fun activities and don’t forget to tell them all about BWB!

How Do I Hold a Book Drive?

  1. Contact your school’s account representative
  2. Set up bins around your campus
  3. Get the word out via Facebook, posters, text messaging, smoke signals, or whatever will work on your campus!
  4. Watch your bins fill up
  5. Have a boxing party!
  6. Ship the books to BWB
