Brooklyn Book Bodega is a nonprofit with the mission of increasing the number of 100+ book homes for kids 0-18 in NYC. Brooklyn Book Bodega provides access to and ownership of books, builds community, and creates a passion for learning through free events and literacy-based community programming.

Kids who read have better life outcomes. Brooklyn Book Bodega believes that all children should be part of a vibrant, literate community and grow up in homes with access to books that they want to read regardless of financial status. Brooklyn Book Bodega has helped thousands of New Yorkers start or add to their home libraries by giving out more than half a million books.

Make an additional donation to support this important work.
