Two very short years ago an idea, a dream to expand children's literacy in our community, took root. Barkley's Bookshelf was founded on March 14, 2022. Five women who are connected by a passion for literacy, championing children's issues, and promoting volunteerism began building the foundation of the organization. Focusing on NW Houston and surrounding communities, we partner with local nonprofits and Title 1 schools to identify children in need of establishing personal libraries to grow their literacy skills.
Our work recognizes literacy is the
foundation of learning, and education for all strengthens our collective human
experience. Since its inception, Barkley's Bookshelf has distributed 7,100+
free books to children, from birth through high school, who lack reading
resources outside of school. We invite you to join us in supporting our vision
for children's literacy: Every child is a reader, and every child is a book
owner.
Yours in reading,
Brenda
