Why books are so important
In low-income areas there is an average of
only one book
for every 300 children.
80%
of preschool programs serving low-income populations have no age-appropriate books.
70%
of 4th graders from low-income families in the US score 'below-proficiency' in reading
85%
of juvenile offenders have reading problems.
Every order helps a child
A new book can be the start of something big. You rent, we donate.
