Bernie’s Book Bank CEO Michael Abello recently joined WGN to discuss the “summer slide” and the important role book ownership plays in helping children stay engaged in reading while school is out.
That’s why Bernie’s Book Bank works hard to provide eight free, high-quality books to local children, helping them build home libraries and continue reading all season long. With your support, we can ensure every child has books of their own and the opportunity to discover the joy of reading.
Helping prevent the summer slide is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Here’s how simple it is (you may already know the drill):
- Volunteer — help pack and process books before they are distributed.
- Donate Books — give your gently used books a second life.
- Make a Gift — $16 provides 8 high-quality books to a local child!
