NEXT:
-Connect with other community volunteers interested in improving literacy and empowering children
-Select economically emerging families with young children in your community
-Collect new and used books for early readers and reference books for high school students. Home libraries are comprised of old favorites and new discoveries. See our Favorite Books page for suggestions. We recommend positive, classic, time-tested books.

-Protect the books while you are collecting at least 2 dozen books per family.
