Booksgiving

BOOKSGIVING

United by a passion for volunteering and a love of books, friends and families come together at local Booksgiving events across Bernie’s Book Bank Chapters.

Enjoy a fun and meaningful day of giving, with opportunities to volunteer, activities, entertainment, and light refreshments.

Each year, Booksgiving pays tribute to a beloved book that inspires our past, present, and future generations of readers and leaders. The theme of Booksgiving 2026 is inspired by Elephant & Piggie by Mo Willems.
