Through innovative school year and summer programs, Compass for Kids provides resources and support to underserved children in Springfield Public Schools – District 186. Our vision is that all children in our community experience success and reach their full potential.

Compass for Kids and the Lincolns 4 Lincoln Read-a-thon

Spread Lincoln's love of reading and donate a book from the wish list of Compass for Kids students! It's amazing what can happen when you give a kid a book - Kids read books that they choose!

There are two ways you can support the students of Compass for Kids!

1. Starting February 1st, visit the Barnes & Noble in Springfield, IL and pick up a Lincolns-4-Lincoln "If You Give a Kid a Book" tag or book from the display. If you can't make it to the store, you can call them at (217)546-9440 to reserve a book to donate!

2. Purchase a Barnes & Noble gift card and we'll purchase a book for a Compass for Kids student on your behalf. You can purchase gift cards in-store (Springfield, IL) or online. If online, email the gift card to [email protected]. You can copy and paste this email address onto the gift card delivery page.
