Our partnership with a school district ensures distribution of book sets in every elementary or middle school in the district, so we reach as many students as possible with a single bulk delivery. In addition, cataloged library books have a shelf life of 8 to 10 years.
Open Books is the only organization whose model reaches thousands of students per delivery, immediately, and for a decade to come.
Open Books provides at least a dozen books to each school. To date, no school district we have contacted had more than a few, if any, of the books we provide.
We donate in abundance to promote safety and acceptance for LGBTQ+ students!
Open Books has the network to reach dozens of districts a year.
We have already reached 1300+ schools and aim to double that impact in two years.
Open Books curates a set of 12 acclaimed books that feature diverse racial and gender identities and expressions. Our curated book list includes recently published stories, desired by librarians.
We engage in belonging for ALL students!
By donating to entire districts and leveraging bulk pricing, Open Books ensures that each school in the district has the same LGBTQ+ affirming collection.
We facilitate equitable access, so that all kids can find themselves in a book!
These books are a permission slip for kids to love themselves (or their classmates) exactly as they are.
Your donation makes that possible!All young people,regardless of sexual orientation or identity,
deserve a safe and supportive environmentin which to achieve their full potential.
