VISION To provide books of their choice to students in Peoria Public Schools and Peoria Heights Public Schools, because reading changes children’s lives. WHAT WE DO We provide new books to pre-k through 4th grade students in Peoria Public Schools and Peoria Heights Public Schools. With six distributions a year, at each school, students pick out the book of their choice.

DID YOU KNOW? Look. It’s My Book! (LIMB) has given more than 300,000 new books to Peoria Public School students and now Peoria Heights. Since 2008, starting with one school, the organization now reaches every elementary school child in Peoria Public Schools and Peoria Heights and has expanded to include pre-k.
