Community Book Pledge

Need to revamp your school library but don’t know where to start? The Usborne Community Book Pledge is a simple, easy way for you to increase vital reading resources in your school while forging connections with your local community. 

We all know that school budgets are precious and often over-stretched - this is where the Usborne Community Book Pledge comes into its own. Your Independent Usborne Organiser is perfectly placed to manage a campaign that the whole community can be proud of.

Wondering what this could look like for your school? From providing every child with a mental health book bundle to creating an incredible reading space for pupils to take a quiet moment, take a look at these blogs to see the wonderful things that can be achieved when the whole community comes together:

• A library with a difference
• Elise Patrick

How does a Book Pledge work?

With your written permission, an Usborne Organiser will contact local businesses and organisations on your behalf, asking them if they want to be a part of your Community Book Pledge.

Once you have confirmed that your school is happy to be the beneficiary, your Independent Organiser will take care of everything else. From pledge letters and posters to collecting donations and delivering books - your Organiser will be committed to making your Community Book Pledge a success.

Usborne is proud to support every school’s cause, and will match donations made by offering up to 60% in extra free books.
