About
Our Program
Book Trust spreads the joy and power of reading by expanding book access, choice, and ownership for thousands of students to inspire engaged readers and lifelong learners. When students choose books that spark their curiosity and have meaningful moments to revisit these stories, they are more likely to become joyful, motivated readers—curious, confident, and connected. As an early literacy nonprofit, Book Trust has supported more than 600,000 students in choosing and owning more than 10 million books since 2001. Through dynamic partnerships with schools and communities, Book Trust offers curated, developmentally- and culturally-relevant print book options for Pre-K through Grade 5 students—at no cost to them or their families
Last school year, Book Trust served 15,707 students at 45 Colorado schools.
Mission
Providing all children equitable access to books of choice in order to promote reading motivation and engagement.
Background Statement
In 2001, Book Trust’s founder Adrienne Schatz recognized that many children did not have books at home. Adrienne launched Book Trust, and made a commitment to ensure all children have the opportunity to choose and own books.
Book Trust's program was piloted with 170 students in Larimer County, Colorado. Since then, Book Trust has supported more than 600,000 students across the United States in choosing and owning more than 10 million books.
