Ferst Readers' mission is "strengthening communities by providing quality books and literacy resources for children and their families to use at  home during the earliest stages of development." Ferst Readers wants every child to have the best start in life - and nothing helps a baby's brain develop more than exposure to rich language and loving interactions. The key is having books in the home and being read to - right from birth. Our vision is "to create better learners, brighter futures, and stronger communities by giving every child under five access to quality books in their homes."

The Fauquier Chapter of Ferst Readers started in 2020. In 2021, we began providing a book a month to every child in headstart. 

We want to continue that with your help or donation. Checks can be sent to the PO Box listed, inquiries about volunteering can be made at the email address listed.
