NYBF needs your help!
The holidays are rapidly approaching, and New York City is feeling more festive every day. As many of us look forward to spending time with family and friends, over 30,000 children and their families will spend the holidays sleeping in a New York City homeless shelter.
The holidays can be an especially challenging time for these families. Books can help as they foster imagination, offer comfort, and empower both children and adults to dream and to see beyond their current circumstances. We are reaching out to our community of readers, writers, publishers and booklovers with a heartfelt request for donations of books—all of which will be donated to Care For the Homeless.
For 40 years, Care for the Homeless has helped New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. At 17 community health centers and five shelters — all throughout the five boroughs — CFH integrates health care, shelter, and supportive services to help end episodes of homelessness every day.
This holiday season we are looking for Adult books and Children’s books. While all books are welcome and needed, there is a specific need for books for Spanish speakers and children of color in both English and Spanish. Donations can be as few as 1 or 2 books or as many as 5 or 6 cartons. Please drop off your donation or mail to:

Thank you! Your generosity will have a meaningful impact on those in need. Happy Holidays!
New York Book Forum is a nonprofit tax-exempt organization dedicated to building bridges between the entire book publishing world and the public with an emphasis on the importance of reading and promoting literacy. The Forum’s target membership extends beyond those who have worked in some capacity in the book world to include all who embrace and celebrate reading. It is our plan to hold regular in-person and virtual informational forums and facilitate educational opportunities that enhance book creation, production, and distribution across all formats. We envision these activities as helping to promote literacy. At New York Book Forum, reading comes into focus!
