Book Ecosystems

OUR VISION

We envision communities where every child grows up surrounded by books and supported by a strong, vibrant library. By extending the library’s reach into everyday community spaces, book ecosystems create multiple, reliable touch-points where families naturally encounter books. This approach aims to:

Improve early literacy outcomes
Strengthen family engagement
Cultivate lifelong readers
Build sustainable, locally driven literacy infrastructure

OUR GOAL

Ensure each participating child in target communities receives 100 age-appropriate books by 3rd grade to build a strong home library foundation.
