Invest in Childhood Literacy
Join the Flying Book Society to help BookSpring build early literacy in Central Texas.
BookSpring’s Central Texas Reading Survey shows a startling 46% of Central Texas homes with children 12 and under have fewer than 20 books at home. Children growing up in homes with at least 20 books get 3 more years of schooling than children from bookless homes.
Joining the Flying Book Society allows you to give monthly while providing a long-lasting home library for families with children facing economic hardship.
Just $25 a Month Provides 120 Books to 40 children!
One of the best ways to invest in childhood literacy in Central Texas is to join the Flying Book Society Monthly Giving Program. As a Flying Book Society member, you can give as little as $10 a month (less than 2 cups of coffee!), $100 a month (less than an electric bill!), or even come up with a gift amount that is tailored to your budget!
$100/month = 480 books to 160 children
$50/month = 240 books to 80 children
$20/month = 96 books to 32 children
