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 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 over 5 million free books to 100,000+ kids in Greater Cleveland and continue to distribute 50,000 books per month.
Partners
Partners are the backbone of our work. More than 1,800 partners distribute our books to the children and families they serve.
Volunteers
Volunteers fuel our operation. More than 18,000 individuals have prepared books for distribution to our partners.
