Since our first event on January 9th, 2013, we have given away over 225,000 books!!! With an average value of $5.00 per book, we have given away well over a MILLION DOLLARS worth of books!!! We could not have done this without the generosity of our many valued supporters that help us keep our bookshelves full.

VISION AND MISSION STATEMENTS:

 VISION:  That children in every family have their own books at home so that they may become better readers, perform better in school and do better in life.

MISSION:  Big Rig Books is a mobile literacy outreach initiative focused on fostering recreational reading beyond the classroom by encouraging reading and providing books for children and families in economically challenged, underserved communities and underperforming schools.
