Make a Referral to More First Library®
First Library® is so much more than a free book program. We're an incentive and reward program too.
More First Library offers first time parents, the majority in need, the opportunity to earn points through various free reading related activities (library activities, reading surveys and parent questionnaires) to shop for new books at our More First Library® Shop.
BONUS: First time mothers receive gifts for continued participation.
If you know a first time mother who is participating in a free monthly book program and is interested in receiving additional free books for their child please complete the following online referral form.
A More First Library Registration form will be emailed to them.
