Access to Books

Unfortunately, socioeconomic factors can lead to tremendous disparities in community schools. Quite often, these schools have far fewer books and many teachers end up purchasing books themselves in an attempt to level the playing field for their students. Before a classroom library was made available, students received 30 minutes of reading time per week. After a classroom library has been implemented, students receive 60 minutes per day of reading time.

Our Classroom Libraries initiative is designed to provide students with the resources they need to develop a lifelong love of reading and learning.

What We Do

Our Classroom Libraries program equips schools with a diverse selection of high-quality books that cater to various reading levels and interests. We also provide infrastructure like reading cubicles and comfortable furniture for children to enjoy a great story.
