MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – Team First Book-Horry County is a nonprofit organization with a simple mission: to provide new books to children in need in our area. Since 1998, the group has given more than 91,413 books to children in the Grand Strand area. Donations are tax-deductible.
As one of First Book’s community-based volunteer Advisory Teams (the only one in South Carolina),
they are responsible for raising money and awarding grants to local programs that have a literacy
component. Grant recipients use the grant money to select and purchase new books at discounted
rates to distribute to disadvantaged children for their personal libraries.
