Ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day, a Tennesse sch

Ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day, a Tennesse school district recently voted to ban this book for 8 curse words and nude imagery of a woman who committed suicide. Art Spiegelman tells the story of his relationship with his father- a Holocaust survivor- through showing Nazis as cats and Jews as mice.

One of our supporters reached out to say she wanted to donate the book and be sure that we could find a home for it. Of course we can find a home for this book.

We decided to take it a step further.

We have purchased 100+ copies of this book to give away during this year’s Read Across America. 100 of the copies will go to an 8th grade class in Jersey City where a Holocaust survivor has been visiting for the past 22 years!

We’re looking for donations of $20 to help defray the costs of purchasing copies of Maus. Link to donate is in bio. ****If you are interested, please make a note with your donation & we will recognize your support with a “donated by” sticker in the book with their name!

We appreciate any and all donations to help to help defray the cost of these books.

This is what choosing your own books looks like. T

Please donate today! With your support, we’ve been putting books into the hands of underserved kids across New Jersey for nearly 20 years. Help us turn the page in 2022 to find a home and hire staff so that we can continue putting even more books into the hands of kids who need them - across New Jersey and beyond! Link in bio.

… and we are deeply grateful for this wonderful

… and we are deeply grateful for this wonderful outpouring of books for our families to enjoy, year after year. Tania Stanchich runs the New Brunswick Early Childhood Education program. Our recurring bi-lingual book donations help support the efforts the program workers to work with children amid developmental concerns. Year after year, Tania expresses her deepest gratitude for the books that we provide. This is what we do - create ongoing access to books for those children who need it. All kids should have books to call their own.

Thursday throwback. From one of the very first boo

Thursday throwback. From one of the very first book distributions we did in Keansburg. Over 15 years have passed since that day. Countless donations and countless smiling kids.
.
There are countless kids across New Jersey who continue to wait for either their first or more books from us. Even from a storage unit, we are working hard to overcome ongoing challenges to continue getting donations out to the kids who need them. One book at a time, we are leveling the playing field to create access to books for all kids. Reading is a right - not a privilege.

This is the year of the non-challenge book challenge. Set your own reading goals. Or not. Just read more books! (We do have one teeny ask … let us know what you are reading - we love to share good recommendations!)

From a 7th grade teacher who received books for he

From a 7th grade teacher who received books for her students - who have little to no access to books in their homes. Robust classroom libraries are a critical component in supporting the ongoing development of literacy skills and encouraging a love of reading. As long as students are not penalized if they do not return a book and as long as students are allowed to take our books home at the end of the year for summer reading, we will provide books to teachers for their classroom libraries. We haven’t met a teacher yet who isn’t fine with this.

What’s on your list this year?
#readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #readingrocks

This month alone we sent out nearly 5,000 books … to Afghan children living at @jbmdl, to a holiday food distribution in Jersey City that would serve 1200 people, and to a young family with only ONE book in their home. All from three 10x10 storage units. One book at a time, we are leveling the playing field by getting as many books as possible into the hands and homes of kids who need them. We know that there are still countless children who still need our books. Without an operating facility, it is getting more challenging each day to meet the requests for books that are coming in from across New Jersey.
.
We are grateful for all the amazing book donations. But, we need your financial support in order to secure a new home. Please help us continue our story by making a financial donation today. Link in bio.

Thank you for your support. ~Abby Daly, Founder & Executive Director (pictured above)

My family earned some serious ⭐️⭐️⭐️ today. After I told them that Bishop Bland couldn’t get to our storage unit last night to pick up nearly 1900 books to go along with the NJ BITE Holiday Giveaway today because of traffic and accidents on the Turnpike, they volunteered to drive the books to Jersey City! Bishop Bland, who is a big book advocate, was thrilled to have the books after all. She shared that they would be serving 1200 people. Thank you my ❤️❤️❤️ for making this happen.

This is what finding a book about something you love - dinosaurs - looks like. This is what it looks like when someone asks you for a picture and keeps you from reading the book you just found about something you love. ❤️

Ron picked up this year’s donation of 1460 books

Ron picked up this year’s donation of 1460 books that will be distributed to the 1200 children currently in the New Brunswick Early Childhood Program. In her request this year, Tania Stanchich, who runs this program, said “The difficult part of this pandemic and school year is that more parents seem to be experiencing severe economic stress. We have been steeped in crisis intervention this year!” She expressed her joy and gratitude to have our books for the children she serves.

Nichelle Douglas is a Long Branch elementary teach

Nichelle Douglas is a Long Branch elementary teacher who has been getting books from us for several years now. Her students do not have many books in their homes. She changes this by hosting events for the kids and parents to pick books to keep and enjoy at home. She teaches the joy of books and stories and her kids are thrilled! This donation will be distributed at a holiday “Books for Bingo” event. All kids need books in their homes.
