A future where every child has equal access to books and the opportunities they inspire. #TransformingChildrensStories
About us
Reading is the single most important skill a child needs. Yet many children lack access to books, especially books of their own. That’s why Bernie’s Book Bank works so hard to provide free quality books to local children so they can build personal libraries. Our purpose is simple: Enable positive life experiences through children's book ownership. We envision a world where every child has equal access to books and the opportunities they inspire. In order to accomplish all of this, we source, process, and distribute eight books annually to children, ages birth through sixth grade. Bernie’s Book Bank focuses on communities where children are the least likely to have access to books of their own and delivers the age appropriate, high interest, and culturally relevant books children deserve. We believe that books and book ownership create pathways to success, so we empower children to explore new ideas, gain knowledge, and strengthen reading skills. With the support of generous volunteers and donors, Bernie’s Book Bank is transforming children’s stories. Since 2009, Bernie's Book Bank has distributed more than 23 MILLION free children's books.

Volunteering at Bernie's Book Bank is always one of my favorite activities. First Bank Chicago invites the summer interns and all new hires each year for an action packed afternoon of sorting, stickering, organizing and bagging up books for children in need. What was your favorite book when you were a kid? I loved Danny and the Dinosaur! And anything that was scratch and sniff. :) Check out berniesbookbank.org for daily volunteering opportunities. 📚

Earlier this week, a group of AmericanAg® employees volunteered at Bernie's Book Bank, an organization that distributes books to underserved kids in the Chicago area. Our volunteers sorted donations and bagged over 7,000 books for 4th-6th graders.

"What gets measured matters." I am grateful for the opportunity to join Bernie's Book Bank's National Board. Together, we're laying the groundwork for their second location in Milwaukee and beyond. Excited to contribute to their mission of spreading literacy and making a positive impact. 📚 For my Chicago-area connections, let me know if you want to catch up in person during a book sorting session at the Lake Bluff warehouse! #BerniesBookBank #Literacy #Education #MilwaukeeExpansion #CommunityImpact
