To support First Financial’s annual School Supply and Book Drive, employees had the opportunity to visit The Maryland Book Bank to sort and select books to be donated to The Education Foundation of Baltimore County Public Schools and The Boys and Girls Clubs of Carroll County.

Our volunteers worked together to gather over 1,100 books for students in the Baltimore County and Carroll County Public School systems. They had a blast exploring the Book Bank, reminiscing about books loved as kids and sharing genres they enjoy reading today!

The Maryland Book Bank expands equitable access to books within under-resourced schools and communities so all children can thrive. The Book Bank warehouse has a collection of gently used books for preschool to high-school-aged children. The Book Bank distributes more than 500,000 books every year. 

Thank you to the Maryland Book Bank for having us and promoting a love of reading among the youth in our community!
