Children Need Books And Books Need Children
“Did you know that 61% of at-risk families have no books at all in their homes for their children? Book ownership is a non-negotiable in any successful educational journey, and Bernie’s Book Bank is committed to making sure that Chicagoland’s at-risk children have the same opportunities that all other children have.
“Bernie’s Book Bank collects quality new and gently used children’s books; packages them into age-appropriate bags; and redistributes them to thousands of at-risk children in Chicagoland who have no books of their own, over and over and over again. Bernie’s Book Bank currently serves more than 35,000 children in Chicago and its suburbs.
“You can help us connect children needing books with books needing children by donating books, volunteering in our warehouse, and supporting us financially. Visit us at www.berniesbookbank.org.”
