Be a Superhero!


Help every child to find their inner

Superhero!

Give them books!
 
The research is clear – access to books is essential for reading and literacy development.

Thanks to
Superhero
Supporters
like you, in 2014, we:

·       Gave over 53,000 books to Bay Area children from low-income families. This brought first time book ownership and the foundation of a home and school library to many children.

·       Increased by 250% the number of local organizations and classrooms to which we provide free books.

Children who read, succeed!

Every child deserves an equal chance
and books of their own. To:
·       Get involved
