Organizations order books from Bring Me A Book for children aged pre-school through third grade. The club asks the guest speakers to sign a bookplate that identifies the organization and explains that the book will be given to children at under-resourced sites such as classrooms, clinic waiting rooms, hospitals, or any public place that children frequent with their parents.Book BuddiesThe Book Buddy program expanded to 41 classrooms serving 672 preschool, transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten and first grade students.

The Book Buddy gifted the hardcover book to the classroom library after each of the 16 visits. A total of 672 books were donated to the classroom libraries.
