We Give Books To Kids in Underserved Communities

 Giveaway libraries are great because many of our recipients have never owned a book and they get to select and take home books.  

We give bags of books sorted by grade level and gender.  These books are distributed to children when they come for food distribution during the pandemic. We recently completed a similar project for Para Los Ninos.

The greatest predictor of literacy for children living in poverty is the quality of their school library.  Lending libraries allow children to bring books home to share with their families. Lending Libraries are filled with high-interest books specifically curated for each community. A recent project is Braddock Drive Elementary.

 Bookworm Global believes literacy is a path out of poverty and aims to ensure students gain critical reading skills needed to lead productive lives. One of our goals is to evaluate the success of our program. We survey and analyze data to improve our program and report on our impact. We will be updating this section and adjusting our program accordingly. We hope schools can use results to apply for grants and funding. Chloe is our Lead Research Ambassador.

Each year people throw away thousands of books and textbooks. We are looking for an environmental ambassador to work with schools to run textbook recycling drives at the same time as textbook buybacks. We hope to minimize the number of books in landfills. Interesting article about creative garbagemen who took on the same issue.

We help nonprofits with social media, remote training, marketing, and online fundraising.  Representative organizations include Neighbor2Neighbor and National Charity League, LA.

 Bookworm Global recieves generous donations from authors. Ryland is passionate about writing and aims to be a writer herself. She started the Author Interview Initiative. YouTube Channel Here. Ryland was our first Ambassador and is always an inspriation. 

Pittsburgh based Ambassador, Mathew, has done amazing work addressing the refugee literacy crisis.  Matthew works with politicians, schools and family centers to distribute books to this vulnerable population.
