Helping kids find books they want to read to spur their love of reading for the rest of their lives. By the time a child reaches the 4th grade, if they have not found a book they love, their chances of reading in the future decreases drastically. Each year, Literacy in the Bag redistributes donated children’s books to Houston and surrounding-area schools through our annual door-to-door book drive and community outreach. These books help stock school libraries, classrooms and create at-home libraries for students. Every book has a home. Sometimes we also get adult books. Those are given to organizations to be resold and the money is invested into children’s reading programs.
