FREE Test Prep Books: The Washington Book Exchange
Donation protected
What is the Washington Book Exchange?
The WBE is a student-run program that collects and redistributes AP, SAT, and ACT prep books to students in Washington State in a way that preserves the dignity of our recipients. No one at their schools—indeed, no one other than our small staff of volunteers—will even know they received a book.
Does it work?
Since its launch in the Bellevue School District three years ago, the Washington Book Exchange (then called the Bellevue Book Exchange) has touched the lives of hundreds of students through the redistribution of lightly used test-prep books. Its success in a seemingly improbable location—the 4th wealthiest school district in Washington state—pointed to a wider need, and inspired our volunteer team to expand statewide.
Doing just that, this month, the WBE expanded to its first school outside of the Bellevue School District, and intends to establish many more “franchises” in school districts all over the state to serve students locally, as well as to support online, remote requests from any high school student in the state.
If you believe in our mission of sharing crucial existing resources to all students to ace their exams, please support is with a donation:
$4.00: 1 book shipped to a student in need
$20.00: 5 books shipped to students in need
$100: 25 books shipped to students in need
$600: Nonprofit status filing fees
Why Now?
We know there are many causes vying for your attention, but secondary-school education—as you no doubt know—was badly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and as such, students preparing for high-stakes exams have had even less scholastic support than ever before. This does not look like it will improve soon.
It’s even harder on students in need. Money is tighter than ever. They are more likely to have slower internet connections than their wealthier peers. In-person instruction is nothing but a memory. They need access to high-quality test-prep resources.
You can help.
Will you do so?
