“I give to Bernie’s Book Bank because I believe in their mission to provide quality books to the children who need them most. As someone who has loved books since I was a child, I continue to be inspired by the idea that book ownership could open up a world of opportunity for a child. I am privileged to be able to support Bernie’s Book Bank and its mission so that this and future generations of children can experience those opportunities, too.”

Miles

“After volunteering at Bernie’s Book Bank for almost 10 years, I feel a profound commitment to their mission of providing books to underserved children. Though I cherish being a member of the Bernie’s Book Bank team, becoming an ongoing donor has enhanced my sense of being a true partner in the battle to improve the literacy of our youth who are most at risk.”

Wes & Margie

“We donate to Bernie’s Book Bank because books have always been an important part of our family, and we want to make sure that others have the same opportunity to learn, laugh, cry, or be scared by the imaginary worlds that authors have started for us but our minds are allowed to finish.

From the anticipatory excitement of starting a new book and not knowing where it will take you to the utter joy and exhilaration of finishing the same book, it’s an experience literally like no other.

We are proud to be a part of the Bernie’s Book Bank community as even the donation of a single book can open up an entire adventure or a whole new world for a kid to experience.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this amazing journey for so many students!”

“I give to Bernie’s Book Bank because I’ve seen firsthand the impact they make — both as a volunteer through my workplace and as a member of the Associates Board. Distributing books to at-risk children who might not otherwise have them is incredibly rewarding, and being part of an organization so dedicated to literacy and equity has inspired me to stay involved. Seeing the impact in the community at both schools and libraries has opened my eyes to the mission of Bernie’s Book Bank. It’s a cause that truly makes a difference, and I’m proud to support it.”
