BookSmiles MissionBookSmiles gives underserved children in New Jersey and Philadelphia the opportunity to build personal libraries, starting at infancy. Our team collects, sorts, and creatively distributes gently used, new, and like-new books. We focus on providing students and younger siblings with dozens of high-quality books, which lays the groundwork for great literacy skills before and during the elementary school years.
We also provide fellow educators with free books for their classrooms, encouraging them to become literacy warriors by gathering and distributing children's books. |
