Lending Libraries and Classroom Books

Make Way for Books provides preschools, child care centers, and home-care providers with high-quality, multicultural, cloth, board, and hardcover books for lending libraries and classroom collections. Each year, more than 32,000 books are checked out by families and shared together at home. 100% of sites reported an increase in their children’s pre-reading skills after participating in the program.

“Several of the parents had mentioned on their first home visit that they had never read to their four- year-old. Because of Make Way for Books’ services, by the end of year all of my students were being read to daily.”
