About Us
We believe every book has a second life and every child deserves access to the magic of reading.
Founded in 2020, we began with a simple yet powerful idea: What if we could rescue forgotten books and turn them into opportunities for underserved children?
Today, we’re a passionate team of book lovers, educators, and environmental advocates on a mission to bridge the gap between discarded stories and young readers in need.

Why We Do It
For the Planet: Reducing waste by breathing new life into discarded books.
For the Kids: Breaking barriers to literacy—because access to books should never be a privilege.
For the Love of Stories: We believe books are bridges to empathy, knowledge, and dreams.
FAQs
How does buying a book from you help underserved children?
Every purchase you make directly supports our mission! A percentage of profits from every sale funds free books and literacy programs for children in underserved communities across the U.S. We partner with schools, libraries, and nonprofits to ensure these books reach kids who need them most.
Where do your books come from?
We rescue books that are lost, discarded, or no longer needed—think library overstocks, school donations, and community book drives. Each book is carefully restored (if needed) and curated to ensure quality. By giving these books a second life, we reduce waste and create opportunities for young readers.
How do you choose which communities to support?
We prioritize regions with limited access to books, focusing on Title I schools, rural areas, and underfunded literacy programs. Our team works with educators and nonprofits to identify communities where our impact can be greatest. Have a suggestion? Contact us—we’d love to hear from you!
