The National Book Fund provides adult literacy and basic education programs with educational materials to help teach adults to read.

Before ProLiteracy established the National Book Fund (NBF), literacy programs that couldn't afford to buy books for students and instructors simply did without them. Students shared worn-out books with other students. Instructors used cast-off books, outdated resources, and photocopies during lessons. But today, with the help of NBF, we're changing all that.

In 1995, using only donated funds, the NBF began providing local literacy programs throughout the United States with New Readers Press books and other educational materials.

THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK FUND CYCLE WILL BE OPEN FEBRUARY 1 - MARCH
