What is IBP and How Can I Help?
The International Book Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization the promotes literacy, education and global friendships by sending over 150,000 books annually to schools, libraries, churches, community organizations and Peace Corps Volunteers throughout the developing world and in the United States.
Here are some ways you can help IBP with its book-sending mission:
Sponsor a small shipment: Visit our online donation page and sponsor a small shipment of books overseas for $200.00. There are often matching grants available to send small shipments for $100.00.
Donate
your quality used books: Send your quality used books to our warehouse at 1440 Delaware Avenue, Lexington KY 40505. You can send books for cheaper with the Media Mail option via USPS. We are always especially in need of children's books, dictionaries, books in Spanish and French, and books on learning English. Check out our "donate books" page to learn more.
Shop our used bookstore: If you live the Lexington, Kentucky area, where our warehouse is located, then stop by our used bookstore from 9-5 Monday-Friday to browse through Lexington's cheapest high-quality used books. All funds raised from the bookstore help cover the cost of shipping books overseas. The newly renovated and climate-controlled bookstore will re-open in the beginning of February. Watch our Facebook page for updates about the exact date of the reopening, or call us at 859-254-6771.

A Night at the Theatre!
IBP will again be partnering with the wonderful Balagula Theatre Company in Lexington, Kentucky for a production of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
The play will take place at Natasha's Bistro and Bar in downtown Lexington Jan 29-Feb 1 and Feb 5-Feb 8. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. All shows begin at 8pm. A significant portion of the ticket sales will go to IBP on Sunday February 5th. So come see an amazing play and help support our book-sending mission at the same time!
Reservations must be made in advance on www.beetnik.com or by calling Natasha's Bistro and Bar at 859-259-2754. While you can make your reservations at 7:30 to just see the show, we highly encourage you to make reservations for earlier so you can enjoy a delicious meal!
