In 2008, over 12,200 books were collected from corporate and individual donors. Local, independent bookstores provided discounts on Give-A-Kid-A-Book purchases and book fair and book signing events at Barnes & Noble as well as book fairs hosted by local businesses benefited Give-A-Kid-A-Book. Most of these books were distributed to 5,400 local children during the holidays. The remaining books found their way into the hands of kids in the community through various Brown County programs that promote reading year round.
