We received thousands of books this summer and we need help getting them ready for distribution. The books are in large boxes and bins and they need to be sorted into boxes according to reading level and genre. This is a great opportunity for a retired or current teacher, a lover of literature, libriarian or bibliophile. Our leadership and other volunteers will be here with you.
We are a 100% volunteer organization working hard to get books in the hands of children. We have a lot of fun and know you wil too. Schools are back in session and teachers are already "shopping" at our Book Site. We want to make sure they have a lot of books to choose.
Books come to us in either English or Spanish.

Mission Statement
Inland Empire Children’s Book Project provides books at no cost to organizations serving children in need, ages 0-18, in the Inland Empire.
Description
Too many children in the Inland Empire live in homes with few or no books and attend schools and programs where books-to-take-home are in short supply. Encouraging children to read is futile when books are not available.
The books are selected by classroom teachers and are given directly to children in need. Our clients determine how best to meet the needs of the children with whom they work.
The Inland Empire Children’s Book Project helps to build literacy by putting books into the hands of children who have little or no access to them. We are modeled after the East Bay Children's Book Project which, by working through individuals and organizations who help children in need, has given out more than ONE MILLION free books since opening its doors in May 2005.
