As anyone involved in a PTA or PTFA knows, fundraising is no small task. It takes time, energy, and a lot of goodwill from your school community. And just as quickly as the funds come in, they are often allocated to a growing list of needs.

With school budgets under increasing pressure, it’s more important than ever that the money you raise delivers real, lasting impact. One of the most powerful areas you can invest in? Books.

When PTAs take a strategic approach to book buying, the results go far beyond improved reading scores.

You help to:

• Create a reading-rich culture across the school

• Encourage children to read for pleasure

• Support teachers with inspiring resources

• Give every child access to books they might not otherwise encounter

And perhaps most importantly—you help shape how children feel about reading for the rest of their lives.
