Our Services
Books for Kids
We want to ensure that all children and families have access to books. Our book van visits low-income housing units, schools, after-school programs, and community events to promote reading. Contact us to schedule a stop or host a Literacy Bookshelf.
Deliveries: We partner with schools, daycares, Early Learning Centers, and other community partners to bring books to the kids being served. Interested in scheduling a book delivery for your site? Contact us using the link below!
