GIVE THE GIFT OF LITERACY

Your support helps us provide FREE tutoring for school-age children and adults in the Springfield area.  We also provide free books and classroom readers to elementary children through our Reading Resource Program aka #bookit, and to Springfield Public School Wonder Years preschoolers.   Additionally, share many books at community events to all children to help them grow both their personal libraries and their appreciation for reading. Creating a positive literacy experience starts with change, and your dollars go a long way to empower someone’s future through literacy.
