Literacy Activism
Did you know that millions of kids are losing access to books right now?
Not because they don’t want to read — but because the doors to those books are literally closing.
Here’s the reality:
-
35% of schools in the U.S. don’t have librarians.
-
The national organization that funds public libraries has put all its staff on leave.
-
Free learning programs like PBS Kids and The Ready to Learn Program are facing massive cuts or even being shut down.
-
And maybe most heartbreaking of all — reading levels among kids are at their lowest point in decades.
When kids lose access to books, they lose more than just stories. They lose imagination, curiosity, confidence — the spark that helps them dream bigger than their circumstances.
Think about the book that changed everything for you. Maybe it was a fantasy novel that made you believe in magic again. A sci-fi story that inspired your love of tech. A D&D manual that brought you and your friends together.
For so many of us, books weren’t just entertainment — they were escape routes, teachers, and friends. Every kid deserves that same chance.
That’s why your donation matters. Your support helps put real books into the hands of kids who need them most.
Please consider donating today — big or small, it all adds up to something powerful.
