  • Why We Do It

    We believe that access to education is a fundamental human right. And children growing up in poverty in the Bay Area are suffering from multiple educational disadvantages, primary among them being unequal access to quality libraries that instill a love of reading that can lead to lifelong gains in educational achievement. School libraries in California are in crisis, and students are suffering the consequences.
