Kids Need to Read

Kids Need to Read is a nonprofit charity focusing on promoting childhood literacy and addressing the deplorable state of library funding that currently exists in the United States. Donating exciting, new books to schools, public libraries, health clinics and shelters in need, the foundation works to develop a lifelong love of reading in all children. Whether it is giving free comics and Highlights for Children magazines to homeless children in Phoenix and Tempe, providing the first books to a charter school with no library in Chandler or Tucson, or donating books to a city library with no funding in Avondale, Kids Need to Read focuses on one goal – getting kids to pick up something to read and never wanting to stop.
