Book Arks are an opportunity to create meaningful

Book Arks are an opportunity to create meaningful access to books in a community. The Free Books Project first created them & has placed them throughout Camden and into surrounding NJ. We partnered to bring them, through more partnerships, to more kids across more of NJ.

This Ark will now serve the kids and community of Woodrow Wilson Elementary & Neptune City. It happened through an initiative the Rotary Club of Asbury Park.

Interested in brining an Ark to your community? Contact either The Free Books Project or Bridge of Books.
