Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The mission of books are wings is to put free books in the hands of children. We believe every child should experience the joy of reading. We envision every child in rhode island with access to quality reading experiences and books. Research suggests that growing up in a home with at least 20 books is associated with 3 additional years of schooling for children. Books are wings seeks to provide every child with regular access to books.

Putting free books in the hands of children. Books Are Wings seeks to provide every child with regular access to books. BAW works to engage students in their classrooms, at school functions, community events, and playgrounds. We believe that offering books to children in different environments instills a consistent message that reading is not just school work- it's a way of life!
