To foster improved literacy and a love of reading by providing free books to children in need.
Description
The Kids' Book Bank was founded in 2016 and distributes thousands of new & gently used books every month to children in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties. Our mission is to ensure that all children grow up surrounded by books in their home. We welcome volunteers into our warehouse to sort, sticker and pack the thousands of donated children's books we receive on a daily basis. We hope to see you soon!

Cleveland Kids' Book Bank (CKBB) is a great organization run by great people. While I grew up in poverty, I was always fortunate enough to have a seemingly endless supply of books, and I believe that access is what got me to where I am today. Since not all children, particularly those in poverty-stricken neighborhoods, are not so lucky, we need organizations dedicated to getting books to kids, which is exactly what CKBB does. I have helped sort books a couple times now, and the task is not only rewarding, but also fun. I attend the Young Professionals' Books and Brew events, so it's more like a friendly get-together than work. If you have any interest in books, literacy, children, or simply and obsessive-compulsive need to sort, this is a great organization with which to volunteer!

I love coming and sorting books in order for them to go to a child or family learning to read and grow.
