Accomplishing the Book'em Mission Through Our Programs
Book’em's mission is to create a more literate Nashville and ignite children’s passion for reading through book ownership and enthusiastic volunteers. We envision a future in Nashville where all children own books and know first-hand the joy and value of reading. Book'em chips away at this mission with different methods through our various programs found below.
