our mission

We believe in the power of reading.Reading has had a profound impact on all of our lives. Some of our earliest and most cherished memories from childhood are centered around our favorite books. Beyond just reminiscing on old stories, we all have been affected academically by reading from a young age. Studies have shown the importance of reading and being read to on a young child's academic success. By reading to their children, parents can play a critical role in helping create the young readers that will become the leaders of our tomorrow.We aim to help Saratoga's babies by providing new parents with "book bags" which include two books, library card information, and other reading-related goodies. Additionally, we have recently begun to expand to the greater Capital Region by providing 4 year olds enrolled in New York State’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program with “book bags” tailored to their reading levels and needs. We hope to help achieve universal childhood literacy and ensure that regardless of background, all children have the resources to read.
