Today is Giving Tuesday, the Global Day of Giving.

Together, this academic school year, we are providing free, quality, and culturally relevant children’s books to over 315,000 children across Chicagoland! That number is fantastic, yet we know our work is not done. There is an opportunity to do more.

We have an additional 95,000 qualifying children at local schools and early childhood centers that we still need to reach. Every gift, every book counts. Can we count on you?
