The perpetual gift of literacy. Your gift provides more than access to books to children. When you donate, you give children the opportunity to thrive: graduate high school, earn higher incomes as adults, become more confident contributing members of society, and create generational literacy legacies for their families.

After being hired as a reading interventionist at a Title 1 charter school in Kansas City, Missouri, I discovered over sixty percent of second graders reading at a preschool to first grade level. Heartbroken, I repeatedly watched students struggle to read simple words like 'and, the, and cat.' Some could barely write their names. I knew something more had to be done.
