Giving Tuesday is more than a day on the calendar, it’s a chance to support charitable causes that are close to your heart.

This time of year, we spend so much money on gifts and celebrations. Sometimes it can feel icky to face our own privilege in times of hardships for others.

The hardship statistics in Norristown are staggering.

Norristown is a book desert - a high-poverty area that lacks basic access to age-appropriate books, high-quality reading materials, and book culture
Poverty rates are above the national average
Literacy scores are the lowest in Montgomery county

Norristown youth deserve better.

And our community is strong because of you. You step up because you understand the value of community organizations like us. You understand how important it is for kids to have access to books and safe spaces where they can thrive.

You can make a difference.

Donate today so we can keep our programming rolling and continue to spread the joy of reading!

👭 $100 funds a middle schooler for our book clubs all school year. Our book clubs are a safe space for kids, full of laughter, friendship, food, and books.

📚 $10/month provides an entire kindergarten class with a set of books, ensuring that our youngest readers have books to enjoy at home.

Thank you for being part of our community of changemakers!
