In low-income neighborhoods, the ratio of books to children is one book for every 300 children, far below the ratio of 13 books per child in middle- and upper-income neighborhoods (Handbook of Early Literacy Research 2006). The Children's Book Bank envisions a society in which all children, regardless of means, are surrounded by and experience books during their early years of development. Our mission is to increase the chances for children to succeed as future readers, learners, and citizens by filling their homes and lives with quality books. Our organizational goals are: • Close the book gap for children living in poverty by providing free collections of books • Improve kindergarten readiness and support literacy development by partnering with existing early education programs to provide books at critical stages of development • Engage the greater community in the collection, repair, bundling, and distribution of new and used children's books • Raise awareness of the learning challenges created by lack of books in the home in support of the greater effort to improve literacy
