Literary organizations you can support right now
Here at Fable, we have supported the World Literacy Foundation for years, a global nonprofit organization striving to ensure that every child has the opportunity to acquire literacy skills and the books they need to reach their full potential. Our readers suggested a few of their favorite nonprofits as well!"When I moved out to the Mojave I searched for reading and book nonprofits to volunteer, and I discovered Spread the Word Nevada, children’s literacy nonprofit dedicated to advancing early childhood literacy by placing books into the hands and homes of children within Nevada low-income communities. I have domated books and coordinated book fairs in high-need schools."— Vanessa Opal June
"I like First Book and Donors Choose (where you can choose projects that support literacy), along with Fable, of course."— Michele Celeste Garcia
"I'm gonna have to throw in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library! Available in the US, Canada, UK, Republic of Ireland, and Australia, they help provide books to children aged 5 and below. Definitely not an unknown organization, but they have done absolute wonders for children from my rural Canadian town, so I can only just imagine the impact this organization has had throughout! will always thank them."— Mak
"Here is one of my favorites - Bernie's Book Bank."— cmgoemans
"I work at the NYPL and tutor kids there they even have free books you don't have to check out that have been *banned.*"— Barbara Epps
"I am extremely appreciative of my local public library. Not only can we check out books, DVDs, and CDs- we can also download them through the app. Librarians are also an excellent resource for information. Our library also has a fantastic array of activities and programs." — Candy Wisdom
"I support my local library and I'm also registered with Little Free Library and have a little library in my yard to encourage reading in my neighborhood."— Bookshelf Bunny
