Books Between Kids - Every Child Deserves to be a Book Owner

Books Between Kids

About 85% of Houston ISD’s elementary-aged children live at or below the poverty line. Priorities for these children and their families are food, clothing and shelter – all other items fall into the category of “want”. Research has shown that children growing up in homes without books, where books are considered a luxury, are less likely to complete a basic education than their peers who do have books available at home (University of Nevada, 2010).

Books Between Kids strives to change this by collecting gently used books and distributing them to children in need.
