Most of us do not realize that thousands of children living within a few miles of our homes may not even own one book!  We tend to be familiar with our immediate neighborhood area, and are not aware that many local children do not have books in their homes.

    This is a very real situation throughout the country.  It is important for children to have access to books.  Many children cannot get to a library, and with their families limited resources, they don't own books. 

BOOKS--A-Go Go collects used and new children's books and gives them to children from low income families.   Kids need books to improve their literacy and develop a love of reading.  BOOKS-A-Go Go has given thousands and thousands of books to children whose families cannot afford to buy them the books they need.  The children love receiving their books, and get so excited, they hug them and can't want to read them.  For many children, it will be the first book in their home.   

BOOKS-A-Go Go has drop off locations for used children's books throughout the country (see "Your Community Section).  If you or your organization can help in your community, let us know.  BOOKS-A-Go Go needs more help across the country to have book drives and set up drop off locations for used children's books.  BOOKS-A-Go Go has it's  National Book Drive in March. 

Millions of children throughout our country love books and want to read, but they do not have any books at home.   BOOKS-A-Go Go wants to fix that, and is changing children's lives, one book at a time. 

BOOKS-A-Go Go is pleased to welcome  Henry Winkler ( The Fonz ) to our BOOKS-A-Go Go advisory board.  As a best selling author, Henry Winkler knows the importance of literacy for all children, and we are pleased to have his support.****


Bibliophiles of America, BOOKS-A-Go Go Inc. is an international  501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Jacksonville Florida.  BOOKS-A-Go Go has been collecting used and new children's books and giving them to children who cannot afford them.  These  children's books are distributed through the schools and organizations who provide services to children from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

March is BOOKS-A-Go Go Month, with our national campaign to collect used and new children's books and distribute them to children who need them.  With over 100 locations, in 17 cities throughout the country collecting books, we were able to provide tens of thousands of children with books that need them across the country.  BOOKS-A-Go Go partners with DriveTime car dealerships, and thousands of people across America donated their children's books to BOOKS-A-Go Go.  Over 27,000 new books were donated to our drive, and  were distributed throughout the country. 

**BOOKS-A-Go Go is currently identifying organizations across the country to coordinate BOOKS-A-Go Go book drives in their city to benefit the children in their area for our March 2009 campaign.  Please contact us to hear more about conducting a book drive for BOOKS-A-Go Go. With our experience, we will show you how you can get books in the hands of the children in your community who cannot afford them.   We also conduct book drives throughout the year.

 If you can, donate children's books, or donate dollars to help these children own a book.  Please visit out DONATE NOW section of this website,  contact us at BOOKSAGOGO@aol.com or call our office at 904-635-6893.

 BOOKS-A-Go Go is also working on several international projects to provide books to children outside the United States that are from low income families.

  BOOKS-A-Go Go also makes Draw Your Dreams kits to provide art supplies and  for children to keep.

" I am well aware of the positive impact that the BOOKS-A-Go Go organization has on our community and our youth.  I support the mission of your organization and encourage you to keep up this very important work."
