" How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."
-Anne Frank
Most of us do not realize that thousands of children living within a few miles of our homes may not even own one book! We tend to be familiar with our immediate neighborhood area, and are not aware that many local children do not have books in their homes.
This is a very real situation throughout the country. It is important for children to have access to books. Many children cannot get to a library, and with their families limited resources, they don't own books.
Many times, the parents cannot read, so there is no reading material in the home. No magazines, books or newspapers. It is important for children to have books at home, so they can improve their reading ability. The book's subject can expose them to a new place, help them understand their feelings, teach them valuable life lessons and just entertain them!
Although this is a sad situation, we can change it!
BOOKS-A-GO GO can be a service project for your organization or school, or just as an individual effort.
BOOKS-A-GO GO is changing lives, and we need your help.
BOOKS-A-GO GO also wants to hear from organizations and schools serving children from low income families that need books. BOOKS-A-Go Go provides books to schools, and a variety of organizations.
