Welcome to the Flamingo Book Club!
The Flamingo Book Club (FBC) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bringing the joy of reading to children and families through free books, engaging literacy experiences, and community partnerships.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to own books, discover stories they love, and experience the magic of reading.
From monthly book deliveries and lively storytimes with Mrs. Flamingo to community literacy events and special reading celebrations, we're finding fun and creative ways to put books into the hands of children.
We partner with schools, libraries, early childhood organizations, local businesses, nonprofits, and other community groups to make books and joyful reading experiences accessible to children and families throughout our region.
All of our programs are FREE! Because access to books shouldn't depend on a family's budget or a community's resources.
Come join our flock. There's always room for one more flamingo!
We bring books, stories, and literacy fun wherever children gather!
📦 Book-A-Month Program
Monthly deliveries of free children's books to participating schools and community partners. Children get to choose a book to take home and keep, helping build their very own home libraries.
🦩 Flamingo Storytime
Mrs. Flamingo brings stories to life with read-alouds, music, puppets, games, movement, and plenty of imagination!
🎪 Community Literacy Events
From festivals and family gatherings to school celebrations and library programs, we bring free books and fun activities to children and families.
🎉 Special Reading Celebrations
We collaborate with community partners on special events like 100th Day Read-a-Thons, themed storytimes, and other creative ways to celebrate reading.
Every program is free! Our offerings are flexible and may be scheduled monthly, quarterly, annually, or as one-time community events, depending on the needs of our partners and available resources.

Storytime at Aguilar Library
The Flamingo Book Club started with one teacher, a classroom full of flamingos, and a desire to make sure every child had books of their own.
What began as a small book-giving project for one classroom grew into an independent nonprofit supported by volunteers, donors, board members, and community partners who believe in the power of literacy.
Today, FBC works alongside schools, libraries, early childhood councils, local businesses, and other community organizations to bring books and joyful literacy experiences to children and families.
We believe it takes a community to help little readers grow. And just like a flock of flamingos, we're stronger when we look out for one another!
The Flamingo Book Club is an independent nonprofit, not a school or library program. We partner with organizations throughout our communities to make free books and literacy experiences more accessible to children.
Whether you're a school, library, early childhood organization, local business, nonprofit, or community group, we'd love to work with you!
There are many ways to partner with FBC, from hosting a storytime or special literacy event to participating in ongoing book distribution programs.
Let's work together to put more books into little hands!
Summer Reading Book Giveaway
Every book given is an opportunity for a child to discover something new, explore their imagination, and develop a lifelong love of reading.
The Flamingo Book Club launched its schoolwide book-giving program at Peakview Elementary in January 2023. During its first five months, approximately 1,300 books were distributed to students!
That early success was made possible by generous donors, volunteers, and community supporters who believed in the mission.
And we're still growing, one book and one little reader at a time!
There are so many ways to support the Flamingo Book Club and help us bring more books to children.
Donate new or gently used children's books.
Make a financial contribution to support free book distributions and literacy programs.
Volunteer your time and talents.
Become a community partner.
Help spread the word about FBC!
Every donation, every volunteer, every shared story, and every book makes a difference.
Together, we can help more children discover the joy of reading!
The Flamingo Book Club would not be what it is today without the generosity and support of our wonderful community.
To our donors, volunteers, board members, partner organizations, families, and friends: thank you for believing in our mission and helping us put books into the hands of children.
We are grateful for every person who has helped our little flock grow!
