of America's low-income children are growing up in homes WITHOUT BOOKS
Did you know?
Books in the home are the strongest indicator of academic success – surpassing income, parents’ education, family composition and all other factors. Research shows low-income children have fewer books at home than their higher-income peers.
What can we do?
Providing books to children in low-income homes to take and keep at home can help break the link between poverty and poor academic success.
Give Books to Kids
Geri’s Locker will support organizations and facilities with a bookstore by:
- Supplying bookshelves and books for initial set up
- Continue to replenish books as needed
- Upon request, track data to help staff track and reward readers and to evaluate book selections
- Rotate book inventory to ensure a fresh, selection of books that readers enjoy
Through the generous support of our donors, Geri’s Locker Bookstores are completely FREE!
