Project Cicero is an annual book event that distributes for FREE, over 150,000 gently used children’s books to PUBLIC SCHOOL teachers/librarians (kindergarten through high school). Books range from picture books, lower & middle school chapter books to geography, history, science and fiction/non-fiction. We do not offer textbooks.
Those that qualify (meaning their schools are verified as serving a low-income population) must individually register for a one hour timeslot to come and collect books for their classrooms (kindergarten through high school).
Teachers must bring a large suitcase (best with wheels) and during their hour are allowed to collect books as many as the suitcase can fit.
Teachers/librarians will receive a CONFIRMATION. Without confirmation, there will not be admission!!!
If there is a problem with registration, or all slots are filled, please address email to: info@projectcicero.org
