Publishers & Book Partners

WE BELIEVE ILLITERACY IS A PREVENTABLE AMERICAN CRISIS

And it all starts with a book. More books in more homes equals more reading, more dreaming, more doing.

Bernie’s Book Bank is on a mission to supply children who need them with free, high-quality books to build in-home libraries of their very own. We need partners, like you, who understand and believe in the power of book ownership, to join us.

From author read-alouds and social media takeovers to book donations and sponsorships, we’re committed to developing a partnership that’s as unique as your story. Together, we can partner to solve the children’s literacy crisis.

“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.’”

Past Recipient

“Each time I received one of the Bernie’s Book Bank bags, it felt like a fresh and exciting experience. This deep passion and excitement I have for books, which have had such a positive impact on my life, all started with those bags of books from Bernie’s Book Bank.”

“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 to every student who receives books.”
BRIAN CARR
Hyde Park Elementary School Principal
