The Reading Tree
Our goal is to help build children's personal libraries, encourage parents to share books with their children, and provide ideas for making reading a part of their daily routine. Serving a primarily Spanish speaking population, The Reading Tree distributes over 30,000 books annually to the children of San Francisco each year.
