Room To Read
A literacy initiative partnership promoting reading and educational development — ensuring every child has access to books.
Literacy as the Foundation for All Achievement

Rooted in the belief that literacy is the foundation for all achievement, the program works to ensure that every child has access to books and the opportunity to develop a lifelong love of reading.
