First Book- Oregon State University


  • About Us

    First Book @ Oregon State University is a program affiliated with the Oregon State BGSA (Black Graduate Student Association).

    We are a recently established Campus Advisory Board that was formed in 2009. We seek to serve children who do not have regular access to brand-new books; especially books that they personally select. Our belief is that children will be more apt to acquire and retain the love of reading when given books on topics, ideas and characters that interest and/ or relate to them. We take great pride in providing books to childhood literacy organizations that would otherwise not receive the support needed to meet their goal of positively impacting a child's future through book ownership.
