Our Mission

Our mission is to erase book deserts in the Houston Area and replace them with an environment where all children, regardless of their economic status, have an abundance of books to choose from.

We believe that everybody deserves the opportunity to read. Through our work, we aim to change lives by providing literature to areas that otherwise don't have access to them.
