One for the Books Online Auction

Welcome to the Books for STL Kids online auction! We are grateful to our many supporters who have donated items such as baseball tickets, artwork, golf outings, gift certificates, and more.

Proceeds from the auction and the trivia night will support our mission to provide new books to children from low-income families.

We are a 100% volunteer-run organization that reaches children through existing preschool and after-school programs, thus assisting these organizations in tackling illiteracy by providing new books to the children they serve. All books that are distributed by Books for STL Kids are brand new and are provided at no cost.

Our mission is to increase access to new books for children of under-resourced families, inspiring a love of reading. Since 1998, our 100% volunteer-run organization has distributed more than 220,000 new books to more than 160 existing literacy programs.

Our signature project, The Largest Book Party in St. Louis, had double the impact this past year as we held the event in two locations. In Florissant at the James J. Eagan Center, we provided more than 1,300 books to 325 kids. At Busch Stadium, downtown, we provided more than 1,800 books to 450 kids. We also encourage those organizations that serve children in need to apply for a book grant where they can receive books at no cost.
