A few weeks ago, @Books4Families donated books to various women's shelters in Toronto. I just got this amazing letter of thanks from @YWCAToronto 🥰 Thank you to all of our community supporters who have donated books and have made a difference in women's lives.

We are always in need of support to continue to expand with more drop-box locations (our current drop-boxes fill up daily!). If you would like to contribute to the cause and help get more books into the hands of children in need, you can donate here: https://t.co/njkGhGf8rO

Thankful for @BookBankCanada and @Books4Families who are supporting the literacy development of children in #TDSB and #YRDSB . These two large boards have closed their libraries this fall.

[Books4Families @Books4Families]

It is #InternationalLiteracyDay and today we take a moment to reflect on the importance of improving literacy and promoting education. On Saturday, we will deliver over 3000 books to The Children’s Book Bank - each book going to a child in need.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Around the world, people work hard every day to improve literacy, promote education, and unlock opportunities. And on #InternationalLiteracyDay, we celebrate them and their tireless efforts. https://t.co/0wURZujvX8

School libraries are the heart of the school. They support student learning &engagement and provide a safe space that promotes student wellbeing.

Thanks @LeasideLife for sharing our @Books4Families story! https://t.co/Zcoh9kDHI5 I love how this article describes the world of support that helped make this happen - including the incredible Geoff Woodmansey and @HomeDepot

[Tracy Badua - UPDATES ONLY @tracybwrites]

Diverse books aren’t just so we see ourselves in stories. They’re for others to see us too. They need to see us exist in spaces outside of pain, broad strokes, or caricature.

"Children’s literacy is so important, and some of my fondest memories as a child was my parents reading to me."

Books4Families was founded with the goal of creating a place for people to donate their gently used children’s books.
