Every Child Deserves to Reach Their Full Potential
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss
Read Across America is a nationwide reading celebration that is the first week of March every year.
This year, you can celebrate Read Across America with us by:
- Donate books to ensure every child has access to books in their home. Make a bigger impact by hosting a book drive!
- Volunteer to read to children and inspire a love of reading.

- - Books must be age-appropriate for children from infancy to adulthood. This includes board books, picture books, early readers, and early chapter books.
- - The most needed books reflect various cultures including Spanish and bilingual books.
- - You can make the biggest impact on the community by being careful with what books you collect and donate. We CANNOT accept any books of a religious nature, adult romance novels, or encyclopedias/textbooks.
