Portland, OR | The Children’s Book Bank mission is to advance child literacy, encourage family bonding, and ignite curiosity through the power of books. The Children’s Book Bank narrows the book gap by providing the community with a place for families to donate the books their children have outgrown, moving thousands and thousands of children’s books into the hands of kids that need them. Bring books back to life in one of our volunteer events! Come lend a hand as we spruce up community-donated books, which will later be distributed to low-income preschool children in the Portland area. Every gently-used donated book is inspected and cleaned by volunteers. Tasks include wiping covers, taping torn pages, erasing scribbles, covering inscriptions, and reinforcing worn spines.

Volunteers help by making sure each book feels as new as possible to the next student receiving them. We feel we are sending a message to the kids about their value with the quality of the books, so we never want our books to feel like hand me downs or someone else's discards. This is why we have volunteers go through and help breath new life into the books so they are ready for their new home!
