Van Horn students receive free books from First Book during Teen Read Week

Students from Van Horn High School in Independence, Missouri received free brand new books to keep for their personal libraries. These popular titles were provided through First Book, a national non-profit based in Washington, D.C. 

During Teen Read Week, all English classes visited the Van Horn library where each student received a book. Students could select from a variety of books in bulk supply throughout the week. 

Books were supplied through a large local First Book distribution in September. Learn more about the First Book distribution here.
