Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The San Francisco-based Childrens Book Projects mission is to promote literacy by providing books to children who need them for equity in literacy, learning, and life, and to provide literacy training and resources to organizations serving low-income and under-resourced families. Our books are given to children and their families to keep (and to the educators and organizations that serve them), and are always free. Our work is based on the understanding that children who grow up with books have better literacy, numeracy, and technological outcomes than their peers who dont, and that reading aloud to children helps their brain development. Because many children have few or no books of their own and attend schools and programs where high quality books are in short supply, encouraging reading is not enough when families do not have equal access to books. To address that inequity, our organization supplies books, training for reading aloud to children, and other literacy resources -- alway

IRS990/Desc0In 2021, the Childrens Book Project processed 178,840 books donated to us, and distributed, via its Book Bank Program, 135,752 free books to low-income, under-resourced children, their families, schools, shelters, child care and child advocacy facilities (with extended Book Bank hours), expanded the numbers of educators and other organizations we serve in our Read Aloud Program (early literacy development skills), doubling the number of free workshops offered, and expanding funding to purchase more new books for each organization partner, launching two new programs: Teen Book Ambassador Program (provides training to teens at the Book Bank who attend public schools in our most disadvantaged communities in order for them to go back into their communities to promote reading); and a Second Reading Program, which delivers gently-used books directly to low-income families living, working, and gathering places all books always given for free, to own and to keep, and all accomplished despite the restrictions of a pandemic, and a relocation to a new space.

Because many children have few or no books of their own and attend schools and programs where high quality books are in short supply, encouraging reading is not enough when families do not have equal access to books.
