The bookshelves display the front covers of books for easy visual and physical access by young children. The 30 books are new, hard cover, and developmentally appropriate. The selection includes books that are language-diverse and culturally relevant. Each book is reviewed and selected to assure that it supports vocabulary and background knowledge development. Book Cubbies: BMAB works with community partners to promote family engagement and improved literacy in low-income households by making it possible for every young child to have good books at home and a place to keep them. The BMAB Book Cubby program provides a small bookcase that parents and children paint and decorate together at the Book Cubby workshop. Each child selects his/her own high quality books to promote the joy of books and reading. The program includes discussions with parents about the importance of reading aloud for brain development, increased vocabulary, reading school success, and parent-child bonding.Book Giveaways: BMAB works with our partner preschools, child development centers, community colleges and nonprofit organizations to coordinate small and large scale book giveaways. Community organizations provide volunteers. Bring Me A Book Giveaways enable more children in the communities we serve to have books they can call their own.Book Drives: Using social media as well as local brick and mortar corporations and businesses, BMAB has campaigns for individuals to purchase new books online or in stores to donate for our book giveaways. We also accept like new books. All books are vetted for appropriateness.Book Buddies: Our Book Buddy Program was developed in 2006 to reinforce the importance of reading aloud to children in preschool and kindergarten classrooms and at home. Book Buddies choose classrooms in Title I or other under-resourced schools, often where the majority of students face the additional challenge of learning English. Book Buddies are trained volunteer readers who visit each classroom 16 times a year and leave the new, hardcover book they have read for the classroom library. In addition, each Book Buddy gifts a new, hardcover book to each child twice a year to take home. Each Book Buddy stays in the same classroom for the entire year, and often returns to the same classroom year after year. Our model supports developing a relationship between the Buddy and the children, as well as the Buddy and teacher. Reading Bonanza in the Park: Reading Bonanza in the Park is a grass roots effort of volunteers and community organizations seeking to provide a big impact event that will have ripple effects in address the problem of low reading levels in low income communities, specifically East Palo Alto. Reading Bonanza in the Park held its first event in 2011 and now on its 7th year gave away more than 10,00 books to more than 1,500 attendees. Bring Me A Book Foundation is the fiscal sponsor for the event and provides 2,000+ books each year for the general book giveaway. A key support for the event is BMABs Family Read Aloud tent where families listen to quality books and receive a new, hardcover, age-appropriate book. 142449 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 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 false false true 10 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 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 X Jon Porter Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lea Anne Borders 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 Marlayna Tuiasosopo-Gordon 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 Founder & Chair 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristine Erving Board Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Judy Deggeller Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan McDonnell Executive Dir. 30.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Pappas Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 204178 824 204178 0 44 44 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Misc Revenue 400 400 400 204622 44 400 X 0 0 20250 20250 0 0 0 0 0 -1289 -1289 0 0 0 10914 10914 0 0 0 42572 33355 412 8805 3382 3382 1483 48 1320 115 0 0 3000 3000 388 373 15 0 0 0 0 282 282 2186 227 1774 185 Books and related supplies 88587 81552 7035 Event expenses 12367 2364 10003 Software/Small equipment 7414 1091 6323 Printing and Publications 3633 146 3487 5387 1134 1604 2649 200556 142449 16123 41984 323633 497110 214573 4265 10162 30485 10351 0 0 0 6500 16800 8024 6171 47977 46769 1490 1208 0 0 0 0 0 564382 566390 12627 9758 12627 9758 X 536764 540937 14991 15695 551755 556632 564382 566390 4066 811 X false false false X 948731 1884514 994335 261167 204178 4292925 0 0 948731 1884514 994335 261167 204178 4292925 528987 3763938 3162 305 145 47 44 3703 0 0 4296628 37460 0.87600 0.85270 X 47977 46769 1208 1208 true East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 20250 20250 20250 East Asia Program services 20250 1 1 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Pass-through grant from MetLife Foundation.
