Since 2007, The Literacy Alliance has provided a start-up family library to every new home built through Habitat for Humanity at the time of home dedication. Access to quality home books encourages families, parents, and children to be readers. Parents serve as role models in developing the habit of reading at home with their children and also help foster a love of reading and learning in their children that reinforces learning at school.
Each library consists of a new bookcase, new reference books, and a selection of gently-used pleasure reading selected to match the ages and interests of family members.
Each start-up library costs roughly $150 and is funded by supporters like you!
