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. In response to the pandemic Bring Me A Book significantly increased book distributions to provide new books and reading materials to children now required to shelter in place. Bring Me A Book pivoted and created a pilot program which shipped books directly to childrens homes, and began to transition workshops from in-person to online. Bring Me A Book also continued to provide books to schools, and local community non-profits and institutions particularly in East Palo Alto, Los Altos, and other Santa Clara County as well as San Mateo County communities. Our volunteers logged over 4000 hours.Service Club Speaker Book ProgramThe Speaker Appreciation program was developed for service clubs as a means of recognizing guest speakers at their regular meetings. Organizations order books from Bring Me A Book for children aged pre-school through third grade. The club asks the guest speakers to sign a bookplate that identifies the organization and explains that the book will be given to children at under-resourced sites such as classrooms, clinic waiting rooms, hospitals, or any public place that children frequent with their parents.Book BuddiesThe Book Buddy program serves preschool, transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten and first grade students. Classrooms are low-income, including Head Start, state funded Child Development Centers, community-based nonprofit preschools and Title I schools. Students engage in a read aloud time with learning extension activities along with their trained Book Buddy. The Book Buddy gifts hardcover books to the classroom library and each student receives 2 hardcover books in English or Spanish to keep at home. Book CubbiesBook cubbies are distributed through the Family Book Cubby Workshops. The partners in these events are the preschools/schools that have Book Buddies or other nonprofits that serve low-income communities and foster children. Due to the pandemic in person workshops were temporarily paused, however a total of 325 cubbies were able to be distributed. 243698 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 false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X X The Organization 6506255000 330 Twin Dolphin Dr Ste 101 Redwood City CA 94065 Judith Crates Interim Ex Dir 40.00 0.00 X 27825 0 0 Judy Deggeller Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Knych Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Loker Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lois Bridges 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 Judy Koch Pres/Founder 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Porter Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristine Erving Board Chair 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lea Anne Borders Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Pappas Fmr Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 27825 0 false false false 0 8898 298347 307245 Program Books 600 600 600 1121 1121 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 308966 1721 X 0 0 0 0 29963 29963 0 0 0 1163 1163 2619 2619 0 0 15591 15591 0 0 0 35367 26020 1295 8052 0 5019 1828 3191 806 679 127 0 750 750 6 6 0 61 61 0 0 0 1540 1540 Books, Bookcases, Caddies 172012 172012 Postage and Shipping 6299 5886 36 377 Supplies 4538 4538 Media, Design, Photography 2622 2622 3727 7 1484 2236 282083 243698 21901 16484 189224 167356 456937 473976 23252 50710 0 0 0 0 14468 22830 816 1086 1310 1310 0 0 0 0 0 0 684697 715958 16080 19663 16080 19663 X 653487 681795 15130 14500 668617 696295 684697 715958 26883 895 -100 X false false false X 261167 204178 191404 213319 307245 1177313 0 0 261167 204178 191404 213319 307245 1177313 191274 986039 47 44 306 1113 1121 2631 0 0 1179944 2531 0.83570 0.91800 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1310 1310 Lea Anne Borders Director 29219 Business transaction false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information Board Member Lea Anne Borders is the founder and principal of Bookelicious LLC,which Bring Me A Book utilizes to conduct business with in order to provide books and gift cards to purchase books for children currently served by Bring Me A Book.
