We believe that literacy as a civil right begins with defining oneself as a reader and choosing the books that help one strengthen identitysociocultural background, languages, values, perspectives, and developing knowledge of the world. When children possess the skills necessary to effectively evaluate and choose their own books, their ability to become engaged members of their communities and productive citizens is enhancedbenefiting humanity as a whole. Bring Me a Book strives for book abundance for children wherever they may bein under-resourced preschools and schools, pediatric clinics, Girls & Boys Clubs, foster care, Kids in Custody, and in subsidized and transitional housing for the houseless particularly in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. Book Cubbies and Family Engagement WorkshopsBook cubbies are distributed through the Family Engagement and Book Cubby Workshops. We reach children and their families through under-resourced preschools, schoolsand through children living in foster homes and subsidized and transitional housing. In this way, through out local workshops, we have distributed approximately 300 cubbies and 1,000 books.Home LibrariesBooks in the homewherever home may beare essential. Raising a child in a home filled with books positively impacts the childs future personal and academic success. Regardless of how many books the family already has, each addition to the home library helps children do better. A book-filled home encourages reading for enjoyment and talking about books We reach children and their families through under-resourced preschools, schools, and children living in foster homes, subsidized and transitional housing. Working with schools in more than 20 states, we were able to distribute about 10,000 books for childrens home libraries.Classroom LibrariesAccess to books and academic success go hand-in-hand. When children live in classrooms with libraries, they read 50 60% more than children who dont. Books in the classroom, just like books in the homecreate a culture of reading which promotes time to read and talk about books. And thats hugely significant because independent reading in school is the best predictor of academic success. Working with our partner Bookelicious, we promoted classroom libraries locally and beyondin addition to bolstering teachers understanding of quality childrens literature.Service Club Speaker Book ProgramThe Bring Me a Book Speaker Appreciation program was developed for service clubs as a means of recognizing guest speakers at their regular meetings. Clubs adopt a local under-resourced classroom, from preschool through third grade, to receive the books that the club orders through the Bring Me A Book Speaker Appreciation Collection available online at Bookelicious: www.Bookelicious.com . Club members deliver the books to an organization or agency that serves children in under resourced communities such as school and public libraries, medical clinics, Boys and Girls Clubs, and the like. 331654 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 19 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true false true true true true false CA X Catt Olazabal 5102399383 330 Twin Dolphin Drive 101 Redwood City CA 94065 X Judy Koch President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kristine Erving Board Chair 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andre Huaman Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michelle Williams Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lea Anne Borders Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Boyko Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joyce Kim Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Porter Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Stipek Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Zeichner Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lois Bridges Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 1540 367684 369224 Research for Literacy 15000 15000 15000 2041 2041 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rounding 1 1 1 386266 17042 X 27500 27500 0 0 0 0 0 153000 145350 7650 0 1124 1068 56 10934 10387 547 0 0 33187 33187 0 0 0 170181 57593 112588 0 10554 1698 2378 6478 0 0 3000 3000 0 0 0 0 0 0 4776 3777 999 Addtl Program Expenses 81359 81281 76 2 0 495615 331654 44893 119068 163949 259828 328141 144265 8677 13981 0 0 0 0 19800 17710 1434 1710 1310 1310 0 0 0 0 0 0 527305 432190 21258 41558 1 21259 41558 X 489546 390632 16500 506046 390632 527305 432190 -109349 -6065 X false false false X 191404 213319 307245 347882 369224 1429074 0 0 191404 213319 307245 347882 369224 1429074 0 1429074 306 1113 1121 148 2041 4729 0 0 1433803 0.99670 0.99780 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1310 1310 false Loganberry Books 13015 Larchmere Blvd Shaker Heights OH 44120 7500 0 Passthru to Local School Library Mineral Point Unified School 705 Ross St Mineral Point WI 53565 396003468 7500 0 Grant for books 1 1 Lea Anne Boarders Director Paid for book distributn false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information Board Member Lea Anne Boarders is the founder and principal of Bookelicious LLC, which Bring Me a Book utilizes to conduct business, in order to provide books and gift cards to purchase books, for children currently served by Bring Me A Book.
