Each year Book’em places reading volunteers in dozens of classrooms in Nashville’s inner city and gives tens of thousands of books to underserved children.

There is still so much more that needs to be done.

Please consider giving money, holding a book drive, volunteering your time and helping us spread the word about the need in our city.
