Reading is the single most important skill a child needs to
succeed in life. Yet, too many children lack books, especially books of their
own in their home.
At Bernie’s Book Bank, we’re here to change that. Driven by
the knowledge that better futures begin with books, we hand-deliver free
high-quality books to children who need them most. We do this with the help of
thousands of volunteers who believe there’s nothing more important than
transforming children’s lives through book ownership.
Today,15 years after our founding, we have hand-delivered
over 29 million free high-quality books. Our effective, scalable, and
sustainable model allows us to source, process, and distribute eight books
every year to children from birth to sixth grade so they can have a home
library of their very own and always have a book within reach.
