MORE DETAILSBook Request
Leander ISD staff, PTA organizations, and local community groups are welcome to request free children’s books to distribute to LISD students and families. The LEEF team will make every effort to fulfill your book needs and will approve requests on a case-by-case basis based on our current book supply.
The books are gently, used donated books, therefore LEEF is unable to provide specific titles.
Please submit your request by completing our book request form below at least 30 business days prior to the date on which the books are needed. If you require your books sooner you’ll have to make arrangements with LEEF to pick them up, LISD facilities requires a minimum of 2 weeks to deliver.
