SMART Reading is a statewide children’s literacy nonprofit with a mission to spark joy and opportunity through the magic of a shared book.
Through SMART Reading’s Book Bank, we give new life to community-donated children’s books in order to fill homes and lives with engaging, culturally diverse books. We accept new and gently used children’s books, clean and refurbish them with help from community volunteers, and distribute them to local kids and families that we are not currently able to serve with our shared reading programs.
Come lend a hand as we spruce-up donated books which will later be distributed to thousands of children in the Central Oregon area. Every book is inspected and cleaned by volunteers, which includes wiping covers, taping torn pages, erasing scribbles, and covering inscriptions. No previous experience is needed to volunteer and all necessary supplies are provided.
Space is limited. Please RSVP to aluther@smartreading.org or (541) 797-7726 to help us give new life to donated children's books!
