The Why
Every year, people in America are throwing away millions of pounds of books which are dumped into ever-deepening landfills while millions of people in third world countries face the daily challenges of illiteracy and an incessant hunger for learning. We hope to spread the message of literacy by donating unused books to those who not only need them but will reuse them over and over again.
