Book will be traveling to upstate NY the week of May 11th to host a book distribution. I thought you may be interested in this opportunity and was wondering if you might know anyone who would be interested in volunteering. These distributions – of approximately
400-500,000 books in a matter of days – are incredible undertakings, so the First Book team is highly reliant on recruiting local volunteer support from friends, partners, businesses, etc. First Book would greatly appreciate any help you can offer in spreading
the word! If you think of anyone who might be interested (either personally or as an office volunteer activity), their volunteer flyer is attached.

sign up with First Book by Monday (yes, a little last-minute, but if you get on the First Book mailing list, there will be other opportunities in the future). If anyone has any questions, they can contact the First Book Help Team at 866-READ-NOW or</span><span style="color:#1F497D">
