“When I was 10 years old, I received my very first bag of books from Bernie’s Book Bank. Until then, I had never owned a book of my own. I had borrowed books from the library and read in school, but there was something different about being able to say, ‘This book belongs to me.’”

“Without support from Bernie’s Book Bank, many of the students at Hyde Park School would only be exposed to books when they are at school … I can truly say that Bernie’s Book Bank instills a love for books and literacy in every student who receives books.”
