Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Promising Pages is The Charlotte Area Book Bank! Our mission is to collect new and donated books and share them with children living in the Charlotte Area Book Desert: those with few, if any, books at home. We work to create a culture of book sharing and ownership. We envision a world where all children have home libraries of self-selected books, can see themselves reflected in the books they read, and have made reading a joyful habit for a lifetime.
The mission of Promising Pages is to level the playing field and offer all kids a fair shot at life by providing them the tools they need to succeed at an early age. We collect and clean used childrens books and then distribute them to Charlotte-area children with few, if any, books to call their own.
