All children should have a personal library.

CHERRY HILL, NJ   |  https://www.booksmiles.org/

Mission

​BookSmiles gives children in the Delaware Valley the opportunity to build personal libraries by collecting, sorting, and creatively distributing gently used books. We focus on developing literacy skills at infancy so that our children can read before kindergarten. We also provide educators with free books for their classrooms, encouraging them to become literacy activists by gathering and distributing children's books.
