Founded in Nashville in 1989, Book’em is a nonprofit 501c3 organization focusing on two core areas: the collection and distribution of books to children and teens in lower-income families who might not otherwise have books of their own; and providing volunteer readers to local preschools and elementary schools. We believe that given an early start, children learn not just to read, but to love reading. What better gift can we give the children of our community than the love of reading?
