Our mission is to cultivate a lifelong love of reading and promote literacy proficiency by expanding book access.
Our vision is for all Georgia families to have access to an abundance of culturally relevant books and family routines that encourage reading for the love of reading.
Our Programs
Book Distribution Programs
Our flagship program is working with Little Free Library® to support the network of Little Free Library book-sharing boxes throughout Georgia.
We do this by helping Little Free Library stewards maintain and restock their libraries, collaborating with local communities and organizations to install new Little Free Libraries, and partnering with other literacy programs to distribute books at community events.
Get Upson Reading
We’re partnering with Upson County Family Connection to join the Get Georgia Reading Campaign.
Our new initiative, Get Upson Reading with The Basics, helps parents by giving them five simple, fun, and science-backed ways to support their child’s brain growth from birth to age 3. These everyday activities—like talking, playing, and reading—help build strong brains, language skills, and healthy relationships.
