Do you love books, reading and children??
Then, The Free Book Buggie needs you!
TFBB collects, sorts, stores and gives away thousands of new and used children's books to under served families and communities. We collaborate with other non profits, churches, food shelves, city and state organizations at events to give kids the chance to choose free books to have in their home. Our goal is to cultivate literacy and show children that reading is fun, allows them to dream, learn, go on adventures and be empowered to shape their future!

Mission Statement
Mission: To provide books to children and ignite a passion for reading that empowers each child to explore a world of opportunity. Vision: We envision a world where all children have their own home library and become lifelong learners through the joy of reading. Our aim is to accept new and pre-loved children's books, keep them out of landfills and give them all away to children across Minnesota and beyond. We value our core belief that ALL children deserve the right to access age-appropriate books to have in their homes. We are proud of our all-volunteer organization and look forward to growing and having Free Book Buggies bookin' it across Minnesota!
