Creating Cultural Miami = Priceless
Support the Miami Book Fair and be part of Miami's commitment to expanding and strengthening Miami's literary culture.
The Children’s Trust Books for Free
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 – books they can keep to read with their families over and over again. We achieve this goal by delivering approximately 3,500 books per week to more than 80 free bookshelf locations through Miami-Dade County. These books are free for the taking by children and their caregivers.
