We are creating a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality. We are achieving this goal by helping children in historically low-income communities develop literacy skills and a habit of reading at least 30 minutes daily.

Book Closets in Lawrence Public School & Youth Centers

Our commitment is to continue encouraging an environment where students can discover their passions, build confidence, and connect with others through the joy of reading. The positive effects of our book closets are not just measured in improved literacy rates but also in the smiles of children who find a new favorite book and the communities brought closer. Together, we are writing new chapters filled with hope, knowledge, and endless possibilities.
