Help us purchase books for children and teens in your community! Our goal is to promote literacy in Western Maryland. Distributing free books at various events in Allegany and Garrett Counties is an important part of this endeavor. Nationally, 61% of children in low-income homes have no books in their homes. You can help us change this statistic in Western Maryland! A donation as small as $2 can put a book in the hands of a child. Able to give more? Value packs of $40+ purchase even more great titles at deep discounts, and any gift in between can purchase a variety of books meeting diverse interests. Every gift positively impacts literacy in Western Maryland!
