Become a Reading Role Model

Research shows that reading aloud to children greatly increases their ability to learn to read and build essential literacy skills. If you have questions, please email [email protected].

Volunteer Groups

Volunteer groups make an enormous impact. Hundreds (sometimes even thousands!) of books can be sorted and processed in just a few hours of group service. Book'em hosts groups of up to 10 volunteers throughout the work week to help sort, clean, stamp, shelve, & box up donated books. This is a fun opportunity for businesses, civic groups, clubs, teams, and more to serve together while doing good in the community. Evening and weekend opportunities are available upon request. Please email [email protected] if you are interested in bringing your group to volunteer.

Hear From Our Volunteers

"I love books, it is fun reading to and interacting with children and it is important that those children understand that there are people who care about them and want them to be happy and successful."
"Book’em brings children and books together. It also brings enthusiastic and caring adults and children together. Book’em helps children become aware of the importance and the joy of reading and it makes them book owners!"
"I love seeing students excited about choosing books for their personal libraries."
"Reading was such an integral part of my childhood and still as personal passion of mine today. I remember being read to from a very young age, participating in school book clubs, and cherishing trips to used book stores on weekends and family vacations. I believe reading helped me develop greater empathy and sense of self as well as vocabulary and imagination. I want to share that love of reading and opportunity to students in my local community."
