Link to Libraries is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in May 2008. Our mission is to collect and distribute new books to elementary school libraries and students in underserved communities to enhance the language and literacy skills of children of all cultural backgrounds.
Link to Libraries is proud to be the largest distributor of books to underserved youth in Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Since our inception, we have put over 500,000 new books into the hands and homes of school children, many of whom have never previously owned a book. Additionally, we offer several programs designed to bring business leaders and volunteers into the classroom to share their love of reading with students. The research is clear, reading aloud to children improves their chances for academic success and helps them expand their understanding of themselves and of the world around them through books.
