“Our children are our future, we must do more than just protect them, we must also invest in them. I can’t think of a better investment than their education.” Virgil Fernandez | Miami Beach Fire Chief

Books for Free is a program of The Children’s Trust in partnership with Miami Book Fair at Miami Dade College. Our goal is to get more books in the hands of children who need them the most – magical, world-building, life-changing books that they can keep to read with their families over and over again. We achieve this goal by delivering an average of 2,443 new and gently used books per week to 73 public bookshelves located in high-traffic locations throughout Miami-Dade County’s most underserved neighborhoods. These books are free for the taking by children and their caregivers.
