Our trained volunteer readers serve as a commercial for reading and send a powerful message that reading is an enjoyable lifetime activity.

Book Distribution

We provide students with books through a variety of programs because access to books is essential to raising a generation of readers.

We help teachers create text-rich, reader friendly schools through free events, resources, book distributions, and volunteer readers.

We educate on the importance of reading to children from infancy into adolescence, the value of a print-rich environment, and more!
