Once a month, the Columbus Kids Book Bank hosts a free book giveaway open to the public. Teachers, parents, caregivers, and other community members are invited to come in and shop for free books.
At our most recent event, the first giveaway of 2026, 2nd & 7 was able to give away over 2,500 books to members of the community! We also offer an online book ordering system where educators and organizations are able to request books ahead of time and stop in to pick them up.
A huge thanks to m2 marketing for sponsoring the giveaway and making it possible. We are also grateful to our volunteers for their time and dedication. Our next giveaway will be Thursday, February 12th. We hope to see you there!
