We have lots of new friends - so here’s a quick reminder: our books are free and they’re meant to be free for everyone. Thanks for helping us keep it that way.

Our books are free. That’s the point.

We’re heartbroken and a little fired up to say this, but here it is:
Some folks have been taking stamped Embrace Books and reselling them for profit.

Let’s be real: this isn’t just shady. It’s stealing from a community that gives generously, freely, and with love.

Our volunteers give thousands of hours to sort, clean, stamp, shelve, and hand out these books. They do it so that teachers, parents, caregivers, and curious readers of all ages can walk in and just take a book. No price tags.

So when someone turns around and sells those same books? They’re not just breaking our trust. They’re taking resources from the people who need them most.

We stamp our books with “Free Book – Not for Resale” for a reason. If you see someone selling them, we’d appreciate a quiet heads-up. And if you're reading this and feeling a little squirmy... maybe it's time to do the right thing.

We’re not here to make money off books. We’re here to make sure everyone has access to them. Books build strong communities.

We can't believe we have to say this...

Let’s keep it free. Let’s keep it honest.
