To celebrate the debut of its newest location, American Girl is partnering with the New York Public Library to support its mission of inspiring lifelong learning, advancing knowledge, and strengthening communities. Kicking things off in November, American Girl is donating $1 million worth of its best-selling character books to the library in celebration of National Family Literacy Month. Any child can receive a FREE American Girl book (while supplies last) at any of the New York Public Library’s 89 children’s branches to foster a love of reading and promote library card applications and renewals. American Girl is also hosting a Grand Opening Benefit Party on Friday, November 10, with all ticket and silent auction proceeds, as well as 10% of sales that evening, benefitting the New York Public Library’s children’s programming.
