Vision Statement

Core Values

  • Access for All – We are committed to breaking down barriers so that everyone, regardless of geography or circumstance, can share in the gift of knowledge. By giving books a second life – through reuse, redistribution, and reimagined purpose – we extend the reach of learning and ensure that knowledge continues to circulate where it’s needed most.
  • Literacy as Empowerment – We believe books are powerful tools that spark learning, expand opportunity, and transform lives.
  • Strength in Partnerships – We build lasting connections with donors, volunteers, and domestic and global partners – amplifying impact by carefully curating book shipments to give books a second life.
  • Integrity in Action – We hold ourselves accountable to honesty, transparency, and respect in every decision and relationship.
  • Commitment to Community – We strengthen communities through programs that ensure our impact is felt close to home as well as around the world.
