The Children’s Book Project gives free books to children who need them for equity in literacy, learning, and life. At our Book Bank in San Francisco, we distribute books for children from under-resourced families and neighborhoods throughout Northern and Central California and beyond. Every donation helps build reading-rich environments for children with limited access to books of their own. Your gift of new, culturally inclusive books lets kids know they're seen and valued, and improves their literacy, academic achievement, and lifetime outcomes. The Children’s Book Project is committed to closing the opportunity gap and lifting up our whole community by raising readers.
