As we head into the final stretch of the year, we’re excited to share an update on our End-of-Year Campaign! Giving Tuesday kicks off our end-of-year fundraising, and thanks to you, we’re starting strong! Our goal is to raise $100,000 — enough to purchase brand-new, high-interest books for every student at our 17 partner elementary schools.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of this community through grants and donations from people like you, we’ve already raised enough to fully serve 13 of our 17 schools. We’re thrilled by this momentum, and now we’re working hard to close the gap so all 6,000+ students can experience the joy of choosing books they love this spring.

Every donation, big or small, moves us closer to putting book joy into the hands of every child we serve. (Between partnerships with publishers and purchasing wholesale, our average price per brand-new book is $2.50; just $10 can help put FOUR books in the hands of children in our community!)

Thank you!
