Books for All

We proudly partner with area businesses, donors and volunteers to gift high quality books to the community. Before COVID-19, we actively participated in several community festivals where we could nurture the love of literature. As that is no longer an option, we have refocused our Libraries Everywhere program to deliver books for all to homes across Central Ohio.

THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC 2020 SEASON!

2020 Highlights

  • 1,100+ free books delivered (marking 5k books gifted since 2016)
  • 1,100+ recipients
  • 350 homes
  • Nearly 50 volunteers with 700+ miles driven
  • In just two months!

Literature gifted to the community included signed editions from celebrated authors, including Oge Mora (Thank You, Omu!), Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street), Will Hillenbrand (First Star: A Bear and Mole Story), Masande Ntshanga (The Reactive), Andre Perry (Some of Us Are Very Hungry Now), Andra Gillum (Doggy Drama), Vada Azeem (Ribbon in the Sky), Dr. Frederick Luis Aldama (The Adventures of Chupacabra Charlie), Dr. Carlotta Penn (Dream a Rainbow), and Michael Nye (All the Castles Burned).

    I am Jerrie Mock’s granddaughter. She would be so honored to have a little free library with her face on it. She LOVED books. She read nearly constantly. Mysteries were her favorite. She also loved libraries and volunteered at them for many years. Thank you for honoring her this way!
