Mission Statement

Books in Homes USA ignites a love of learning and expands educational opportunities for all children by combining books, hands-on experiences, and engaging learning modules that inspire curiosity and growth

Description

Books In Homes USA is modeled after Duffy Books In Homes New Zealand. Alan Duff, a New Zealand author identifying that failures in adult life often stem from childhoods spent in bookless homes, created Duffy Books In Homes New Zealand in 1994 and Books In Homes Australia in 2001. After visiting New Zealand during 2005 as part of his doctoral studies through the University of Pennsylvania, Books In Homes USA’s inaugural executive director, Dr. Richard E. Quest, brought the Duffy Books In Homes program to the USA. In 2008, "Duffy Books In Homes USA" launched organizational efforts and received 501(c)(3) approval. Today, the organization is known as "Books In Homes USA and has distributed more than 1 million books to 335,439 children.
