Fostering literacy and the love of reading locally
The Cleveland Kids’ Book Bank distributes free books to children across Cleveland. Hear how they are creating a community of readers through their community bookshelves, where they stock 21 bookshelves at public spaces across Cleveland – including the West Side Market – and their Books Like Me Campaign, an ongoing effort to increase the number of diverse books they get into the hands and homes of the children they serve.
