- Better World Books offers chapters the opportunity to raise funds through the collection of used textbooks that are then sent to one of three Better World Books literacy partners: The National Center for Family Literacy, Room to Read, or Books for Africa. Your chapter will also receive $.50 for each eligible book that is collected.
