At our wonderful, free 30th Anniversary Community Celebration on October 15th —declared Children’s Book Project Day by San Francisco Mayor London Breed — our founder Vicki Pollack gave our 3 millionth children’s book to community partner Latino Task Force.
Nearly 500 local residents, including 300 children, joined us for festivities outside our Book Bank that featured enthralling presentations by Bay Area children’s book authors Hope Lim, Diana Kapp, Gennifer Choldenko, Nina LaCour, Nidhi Chanani, JaNay Brown-Wood, and Meg Fleming.
Community partners Vision To Learn provided free vision screenings, eye exams, and glasses for underserved children, and 18 Reasons encouraged kids to taste and describe fresh fruits and vegetables.
More than 50 volunteers, including moms and daughters from National Charity League Crystal Springs, offered delicious food, engaging family activities, and gave away nearly 800 beautiful, free books!
For 30 years, we’ve given away free books for hundreds of thousands of low-income children in 20 California counties, from Alameda to Yolo and beyond. Some of these kids, now grown, are among the educators, social workers, nurses, doctors, and staff of organizations who visit our Book Bank to get books for children who need more books of their own.
Today, we celebrate all of you — our supporters, clients, volunteers, donors, friends, and families — who help us continue to raise readers by giving free books to children who need them!
