Book It For Books is RIF of NOVA's biannual fund- and fun-raiser -- and it's back on October 16, 2021! All are welcome to participate ... kids, parents, friends, colleagues, teachers, and the trash collector! In other words, EVERYONE! It's a wonderful day for all and an especially great day for reading and literacy!

At $3 a book, your $35 registration fee provides a book for about 10 kids in the Northern Virginia area who have few or even no books of their own. What a difference you can make! Particularly when 65% of 4th graders in the U.S. read below grade level.
