Books 4 Life (inter)national

Associated and local foundations
Each Books 4 Life branch determines how the foundation's goals are to be achieved. The national Books 4 Life foundation establishes core values and criteria, which each branch needs to meet in order to carry the Books 4 Life trademark.
These include:
- low book prices
- no compensation for volunteer work
- we sell only donated books
- transparency regarding the charities.
