First Book - Bonneville County is a local advisory in Southeast Idaho of First Book, the national nonprofit organization which has a single mission: to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books.

The primary goal of First Book is to work with existing literacy programs to distribute new books to children who, for economic reasons, have little or no access to books.

First Book - Bonneville County partners with family literacy organizations, after-school tutoring programs and other groups that are working with the children who need help the most.
