Book Preps is a volunteer group in Las Vegas that prepares books for children.

Book Preps is a volunteer group based in Las Vegas that dedicates its time to preparing books for children in need. As part of Spread the Word Nevada, the organization distributes over 70,000 gently used books each month to students across the state. Book Preps volunteers assist with cleaning, sorting, and preparing these books, ensuring they are ready for distribution to schools and students who benefit from them. This opportunity is suitable for individuals or groups, with flexible times available throughout the week in Clark County. Volunteers typically work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays during designated morning and afternoon sessions, though reservations must be made in advance. Most volunteer roles do not require prior training, as on-site guidance and orientation are provided, although those interested in the Books & Buddies Mentor program must complete a monthly training session and pass a background check. The organization covers all costs associated with training and background checks for prospective mentors. Volunteers must be at least 7 years old, with those between 7 and 16 requiring parental accompaniment. By joining Book Preps, individuals and groups contribute to a legacy of over 8 million books distributed since 2001, helping to empower thousands of children and support 81 adopted Nevada elementary schools.
