Our Mission

The mission of the Cleveland Kids’ Book Bank is to foster literacy and a love of reading by distributing free books to children in need through collaboration with community partners.

The Cleveland Kids’ Book Bank is working to ensure all kids in Greater Cleveland have books to build their own home libraries.

A book in the hands of a child is a magical thing! Reading fuels imaginations, teaches empathy, supports academic achievement, and helps parents build bonds with their kids.

Impact

We’ve distributed 4 million free books to 100,000+ kids in need in Greater Cleveland and continue to distribute 45,000 books per month.

Partners

Partners are the backbone of our work. More than 1,600 organizations distribute our books to the children and families they serve.

Volunteers

Volunteers fuel our operation. More than 9,500 individuals have sorted and packed books for distribution to our partners.
