Books For Better MN has been helping build youth literacy in the community by providing free books since 2020. The organization gives the kids who need it, access to books of their own, at no cost to them. We believe that all youth deserve an equal opportunity at literary success.

We are a registered 501c3 non-profit organization that focuses on youth literacy. Our focus is getting books into kids' (birth-18 years old) hands without the stress of the cost. While we aim to serve all of Minnesota we work heavily in the Rural Minnesota area.

Books For Better MN hosts a variety of events throughout the year to help raise awareness as well as bring the community together in a safe, accepting space to provide books to kids. Our biggest event each year is a bi-annual free book fair which is open to the public and gives youth the opportunity to browse a book fair and pick out their own books to bring home. We also host story-time weekly, every Summer at various parks to keep kids reading throughout the summer.

We as an organization are setting goals for 2027 and our biggest goal is sustainability. After six years of operations we have learned so much. One thing is for certain, funding is essential, ongoing support is important, and progress is necessary. It is our goal to continue our mission into the future and in order to do so we need ongoing funding. We are hopeful that gaining monthly supporters will help us meet our goal.

Thank you for the continued support over the years!
