For only $30, you will get 6 books to keep for up to 90 days, a free tote bag, activities to support reading for fun over the summer and a chance to win prizes. Books are shipped to your home, together with a mailer with pre-paid return postage to return the books.

Donating to Reconstruction

On April 15, we were united in heartbreak as Notre-Dame de Paris suffered a devastating fire. Today, we find solace in overwhelming messages of support and the invigorating movement to rebuild this iconic monument at the heart of France.

As French citizens, francophone professionals and francophiles, we are united by common values, mutual understanding & joint goals. With its intricate facades and precious works of art, Notre-Dame de Paris stands tall as a testament to Paris’ history, resilience and attractiveness. We have received several requests from those who share our love of Notre-Dame de Paris asking how to help.
