Book Blast supports our school's focus on literacy. The experience creates excitement about books throughout the school and community. The students love the treasure map and the excitement of the daily announcements. Parents love seeing their child on social media as proud readers. Anytime we can generate excitement and energy around reading, literacy success follows. Putting books in kids hands not only promotes reading at school but also at home.

I had a timeline up front of what the two week blast looked like and things I needed to do, as well as a daily reminder. The kids were super excited to learn about the program and excited for the prizes! I'm excited to see how our Book Box Day goes in a few weeks!! My students each will be getting 2 or more books! We also made enough that the library got some more books and materials. Extra books will also be gifted to classrooms, making reading them even more accessible to students.

It was truly heartwarming to see their genuine excitement and love for reading grow right before our eyes. The Book Blast not only made reading fun, but it also helped ensure that every child took home brand-new books of their own. Knowing that we are helping our students build their personal libraries and foster a lifelong love for reading is an incredible feeling.

It was such a fun experience and the kids were absolutely thrilled to receive their packages of books. Our representative Scott guided us through every step to ensure our school was successful with the event. It was fun and easy to manage while also managing the craziness and unpredictable days of a day school. Our parents also enjoyed the quick and easy steps it took on their end. I am so glad that our school found a fundraiser that truly gives 100% back to the children. I would highly recommend to every school and childcare facility.

Great program for getting books in the hand of students.

I would recommend all schools to participate and bring books to all children.

Our school had a wonderful experience with our Book Blast. Watching a student unexpectedly win one of the higher level prizes is a great joy, especially since all 3 were great kids who thought they'd never win. My book blast representative always answered all of my questions, made each step easy to understand and follow, and took care of every detail of the program. Books Are Fun live their mission to make building home libraries a joyful and successful mission.

I love the fact that every single preschool through eighth grade child will go home with a book! The company representatives were so very helpful throughout the whole process. Thank you so much for helping to encourage a love for reading!

We really loved the Book Blast experience at the Rose E. Schneider YMCA ELC! It was convenient, minimal work and the kids earned a bunch of books. I was nervous about pushing another fundraiser but the Book Blast Program kind of handles itself. The prizes the kids earned were so fun! One staff who has a child wanted the Burrito Blanket. She sent emails, just to receive that. She ended up earning her daughter's whole library and won the $100 shopping spree. I also love that Book Blast picks the winner so there is no chance for bias. I highly recommend giving it a try!

The students were so excited to participate and earn prizes and books. Best of all, they LOVED the treasure boxes that were given away to 3 lucky students. Everyone of our students has benefited from this program by earning at least 1 book from their book list. And, we had several teachers earn money to spend for their classrooms. I whole-heartedly recommened this fundraiser for all schools. It is already set up for you, easy to facilitate, and best of all the students benefit!

We had an outstanding experience working with Books Are Fun for our school fundraiser! Their team was professional, organized, and truly invested in helping us succeed. Our representative, Erin Kelly, was phenomenal! With their support, we raised over $60,000 worth of books—enough to provide 4,300 books for our students to take home and build their own personal libraries. Our original goal was to provide at least one book per student and to reach a 30% participation rate. Thanks to Books Are Fun, we far exceeded both goals—every student was able to receive four books, and we reached an incredible 73% participation rate! Our students and parents love the books, stating that this was one of the easiest fundraisers that they have participated in. Teachers are amazed by the quality of the books for each grade level and are already looking forward to participating again next year! This program not only supported literacy and a love for reading, but it also created excitement throughout our school community. We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner with Books Are Fun, and we highly recommend them to any school looking for a meaningful and impactful fundraiser.

We did this program at the end of the school year because we wanted everyone to have at least one free book to take home to read over the Summer and this program delivered on that promise and it was so much fun to do! PLUS it was EASY and didn't require a lot of work on my part which is essential this time of the year when it is hectic and crazy. I worked with the best rep who walked me step by step through the program and was ALWAYS there for any questions I had for her. I would definitely recommend Book Blast to all schools! Such an easy program to run and such a rewarding experience for the students! I've already scheduled our school to do this again next year!

This is the 2nd year that our school has participated in the Book Blast program. It was AMAZING! One of the most organized and easy programs I have done. Everything was there for me and our rep was wonderful. The prizes were quality and the students absolutely LOVED them, especially the monkey hat. Students were excited about the program. I got stopped by students often letting me know that they completed the Treasure Map or asking when the books would be here. The thing I love the most is that EVERY student in our building received a book. Quality books in the hands of our students helps build reading skills, but those same books that the student owns helps build a love of reading.

They were very engaged throughout the whole event, and they continuously ask when they will be receiving their books and prizes. I can't wait to see the excitement on their faces when they are able to open them up and show their friends and families!

Every question I had was answered the same day! Our students LOVED receiving their books! The look on their faces is surprise and enjoyment. Many students don't have many books at home. This program helps build home libraries and encourages students to read!

Our experience with the Book Are Fun Book Blast was absolutely seamless from start to finish! We had to reschedule twice due to bad weather, and the team was incredibly accommodating. Working with Jessie was a dream—she made everything so easy and stress-free. The delivery process was smooth, with everything thoughtfully packaged by teacher and individual bags for each student. I loved being able to provide every student in the school with books to add to their home libraries. It was such a rewarding experience for both the students and the school!

I’ve never worked with someone who responds so quickly and is so understanding to questions we constantly send to her. I’ve been an instructional coach/reading facilitator for the past 11 years. Shelby has been the very best person I’ve ever worked with in regards to reading!

The Books Are Fun Book Blast program has been a wonderful experience for my students over the past three years. As the librarian of a small rural school, I understand the importance of getting books in the hands of kids, who often come from families unable to afford purchasing books for their child's own home library. Books Are Fun allows every child to walk away with free books, and the prizes that are given out throughout the program are amazing. I highly recommend that every school partner with this organization and host a Book Blast every year!
