Book lovers couldn’t agree more on the statement that ‘reading is fun.’ But when you can extend the gift of literacy by just reading books and loving them, wouldn’t you want to become a part of this noble cause?

This is what Better World Books is bent on doing.

Better World Books collects and sells books online to fund literacy initiatives worldwide...we’re a self-sustaining, triple-bottom-line company that creates social, economic and environmental value for all our stakeholders.

By partnering with 1,600 college campus and 950 libraries nationwide, Better World Books has collected and sold books to more than 2 million customers, raising money for literacy organizations worldwide.

And they just don’t offer a few books. They offer as much as six million titles, ranging from novels to art and business books.

This company is also doing its job by being good to Mother Nature at the same time. They refuse to throw away books. In fact, BWB has spared more than 36 million books from landfills.

And with every purchase, you’re not only guaranteed of a good read, you’re also guaranteed of a changed life of someone from another country.

If you’re within the United States, shipping and handling charges do not apply and BWB only charges $3.97 for international shipping.

BWB works with carbonfund.org to offset the carbon costs of its shipping and the shipping of its literacy partners. It also utilizes the National Postal Service—which uses the least energy per package of any carrier—to reduce carbon use right from the start.

BWB works with Books for Africa, Room to Read, Worldfund, the National Center for Family Literacy, and Invisible Children.
