Why Donate Books?

About Little Neighborhood Libraries

Access to quality, age-appropriate books is key to developing reading skills. Reading proficiently by the end of 3rd grade is one of the most important predictors of graduating from high school.

Nearly two-thirds of low-income families have no books and currently more than half of Ogden School District 3rd graders read below grade level. With your help, we can make books accessible to all children in Northern Utah and give a new generation the opportunity to find their favorite books.
