What is BookEnds? 

BookEnds is a non profit organization about Kids helping Kids for Literacy and Leadership.  BookEnds is built upon our belief in children.  We believe that every child has a right to be surrounded by books throughout their childhood to inspire, enthrall and excite them.  We also believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn to help.

Annually, nearly 20,000 students organize BookEnds book drives in their schools to recycle their quality children's books directly into the hands of kids in schools and youth organizations that are in desperate need of books. At BookEnds, we build the next generation of readers and leaders.  Contact us!
