is a program that mails free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to registered children (who must reside in the Beacon City School District) every month from birth up to their fifth birthday.

Each book is addressed to them, creating a special moment of discovery and fostering a lifelong love of reading. This program is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Howland Public Library and the United Way of Dutchess - Orange Region.

You can choose from English or bilingual English/Spanish options.
