Donate

Books, funds or a whole collection drive — each is a real way to help, and each goes to a school or library that has asked for support.

Give books that get read.

Picture books, early readers, chapter books and regional-language titles in readable condition. Tell us what you have and where you are — we arrange the rest.

Organise a book drive

Pages of Joy is an independent, youth-led initiative. It is not presently registered as a nonprofit in the United States or in any US state, and contributions to it are not tax-deductible. We would rather say so plainly than let anyone assume otherwise.

For schools & communities

Schools, NGOs, community centres and libraries can ask us for support. It takes about ten minutes, and we answer every request — including the ones we cannot serve yet.
