Each contribution = an opportunity for a child to build a home library.

At our annual book fairs, families anxiously arrive prior to opening.

We believe:

      • reading is fundamental, children who are exposed to reading at an early age develop language skills  
      • providing books to children has a major impact on their lives, our communities and world
      • our future leaders are entitled to libraries stocked with collections of culturally diverse, high-quality books

Message From our Founder

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting this important Space.  We are removing financial barriers to child literacy for countless families.  During our annual book distributions, children receive high-quality new books.

According to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans, University of Nevada, Reno associate professor of sociology and resource economics, parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain.  Parents who attend our book distributions attest that their children’s reading proficiency is increasing.  Still, books are unaffordable for many families.  GCB has a solution that you can become a part of.

Join Grassroots Literacy with a $10 or more donation.  With your gift, each child receives 10-12 books per year.  As a member of Grassroots Literacy, you will receive visuals of children selecting books you’ve gifted.
