In 2025, once again, we were so pleased to host two of our signature annual book distribution event, The Largest Book Party in St. Louis! We successfully brought this party to two locations to reach more kids across St. Louis.

The Largest Book Party: Downtown


At The Largest Book Party in St. Louis: Downtown, we distributed 1,600 new books directly to kids!

​

Over 250 children attended for a morning of story time, snacks, and picking out their new books to take home. The kids loved hearing stories read by local firemen, policemen, librarians and other volunteers.  Each child was able to choose several new books from a wide selection of titles within their reading level to take home and keep as their own.


Many thanks to our Presenting Sponsors for the Downtown location:

  • Arthur and Helen Baer Foundation

  • Cardinals Care

  • US Bank


And to our Additional Sponsors:

  • Staenberg Family Foundation, a supporting foundation of Jewish Federation of St. Louis

  • Missouri Humanities with support from the Missouri Humanities Trust Fund

  • Walmart Store # 3061


Thank you to our other volunteers and Board for helping to place more books in the hands of children - we couldn't do it without you!
