Giving our troops the opportunity to escape into a good book since 1999.






"Kind People at Operation Paperback, I wanted to pass along my thanks for everyone who helps to collect the books and have them shipped out to us. Although I work long hours, while traveling there is dead time, where a book is an ideal means of passing the time. Similarly, a little bit of reading in the evenings takes the edge of the day's work and allows my mind to wander to another time and place. Your books come in handy, and they can be interesting as well. Even if I read one outside of my normal comfort zone, they help with filling the time. For other people, who may have more on demand jobs, with long periods of being ready in between, I am sure that they appreciate books that reach them. I may have volunteered to serve, but people, like you, who volunteer without pay and without much recognition are equally deserving of recognition. You have my humble respect and admiration of your efforts. Thank you. "

Thank you for visiting! The sign up for our free family book shipments is now closed.

We are so honored to provide military families with free books as a way of thanking them for the sacrifices they make. Last winter and spring, over a thousand military families received 25,000+ children's books and other titles through our program.

We're working hard to get thousands more books out the door. Please be patient! If you already have submitted your name and have yet to receive books, there is no need for concern. Your shipment will be on its way very soon. Please email us at FamilySupport@operationpaperback.org if you are concerned about the status of your shipment.

Remember, you can always submit the name of ANY servicemember overseas to receive book shipments throughout their deployment. Click here or go to Troop Support in the menu above. The primary mission of Operation Paperback is to provide free reading to our deployed troops and our work is NEVER done!
