Book'em is a non-profit organization that brings free books to kids in Nashville, TN. Our mission is to create a more literate Nashville and ignite children's passion for reading through book ownership and enthusiastic volunteers. We serve disadvantaged youth ages 0-18 through three main programs: Books For Nashville's Kids, Reading is Fundamental (RIF), and Ready For Reading. We are the largest not-for-profit provider of free books for children of all ages in Nashville and we are rapidly growing to meet the increasing need.
In 2019, Book’em distributed more than 115,000 books to 160+ community partners in Davidson County and provided 230 reading role models in seventeen Title I elementary schools and two Early Learning Centers.
The pandemic has highlighted the immense need for books in children's homes as school and public libraries were closed or difficult to access. Many of the families we serve depend on our public libraries for access to books. Book'em has seen an increased demand for books and with your help we can provide more amazing stories for kids in Nashville.
A donation of $10 will provide 4 children with a brand-new book to call their own.
$10 = books for 4 children
$20 = books for 8 children
$50 = books for 20 children
$100 = books for 40 children
A donation of $500 will provide books for an entire classroom for the 2020-21 school year through our RIF program.
Sharing this page with 5 friends will get us one step closer to our goal of raising $6,000 in one month. We cannot do this work without supporters like you!
We believe in a future where all children in Nashville own books and know first-hand the joy and value of reading. Will you help us turn this dream into a reality?
