2024 Report

By Jonathan Thornton | Vice President of Strategic Growth and Revenue

Friends! 

We're thrilled to share an exciting update on Raising a Reader's Home Library Program and the incredible impact your support has made possible. 

Books at Home: A Foundation for Literacy  

Research consistently shows that access to books at home is a critical factor in a child's literacy development. Children with home libraries are more likely to: 

  • Develop strong reading skills early 
  • Perform better academically across subjects 
  • Cultivate a lifelong love of learning 

Your generosity has turned this research into reality for hundreds of families. 

Milestone Achieved: 1,000+ Home Libraries and Counting  

Thanks to supporters like you, we've exceeded our goal of placing 1,000 Home Library Programs this year. Each library represents a child's gateway to imagination, knowledge, and opportunity. 

Diverse Books for Diverse Communities  

Your donations have enabled us to curate libraries that reflect the rich tapestry of cultures in the communities we serve. By providing books that represent various backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, we're fostering inclusivity and helping children see themselves in the stories they read. 

The Crucial Role of Supporters 

Your continued support is the cornerstone of our success. Every contribution, regardless of size, directly impacts a child's future by: 

  • Funding the purchase of high-quality, culturally relevant books 
  • Supporting the logistics of distributing libraries to families in need 
  • Enabling us to expand our reach to more communities across the country 

We're deeply grateful for your partnership in this vital mission. Together, we're not just building libraries – we're building brighter futures. 

With gratitude, 

Your Friends at Raising a Reader
