Libraries

Books for Kids creates and furnishes libraries within existing children’s centers. We enable children who may not have access to a public library to discover the world of books. We purchase and donate library bound books to create an actual lending program to familiarize children with standard practices. Each library is created with an age-appropriate collection which includes the core group of standard titles recommended by the Department of Education and early childhood literacy experts. Books are carefully selected to reflect the backgrounds and life experiences of the children in that community. Libraries include child friendly chairs and tables, colorful carpets, listening centers, puppets, motivational posters and more. These unique environments grant the opportunity to an early learning process that will lay the groundwork for their future success. Our libraries and programs encourage children to explore, think, discover, and learn.

On March 18th, Books for Kids dedicated its 58th BFK Library at the New York Family Justice Center, Brooklyn. The Library will serve children who have been the unfortunate witnesses, and often victims, of domestic violence. They are in desperate need of safe, friendly places to learn, play, and explore the magic of books. For photos and more information about the dedication, please click here.
