OKR Free Book Festival

Support Literacy In Trenton, NJ!

Our Kids Read, in partnership with the Princeton University Class of 1979, is bringing a Free Book Festival to the 2024 Princeton Reunions!

As part of this year's 2024 Princeton Reunions, Our Kids Read is partnering with the Class of 1979 to bring a group of 5th graders from a local Trenton elementary school for a day of literacy and mentorship. The Class of '79 service event will feature events at Firestone Library, a campus tour, storytelling and, of course, FREE BOOKS for every student!

Donate one or more books for children to take home with them during this event (it's also OK to donate multiple copies of a single book).

NOTE: During the checkout process please select the shipping address: Our Kids Read's Gift Registry Address. This ensures the books will be sent to our kids read headquarters in Columbia, MD. They will take the donated books to the school on the day of the festival.

OKR is a 100% volunteer organization but we do pay contract musicians, storytellers and part-time staff. Please donate to support the cost of bringing the best event possible to the students we serve.
