Pass the Book A program that collects, sorts and distributes books to local children through organizations that encourage and support early literacy. Please consider donating to our book drive events. Help share the magic and love of books!
In 2025, Pass the Book distributed 2926 children’s books to 12 agencies including Head Start, Community Works, Family Connection, Kids Unlimited, and the Jackson County Foster Parent Association. We purchase brand new books from Scholastic through their Literary Partners program, but the bulk of our books come from generous donors who want to pass on the gift of reading to children. We will be holding our annual book drive throughout the month of January at all branches of the Jackson County Library. We also accept books year-round - email [email protected] to arrange pickup. Thank you for your support!
