About US

Toots for Books is a 501c3 nonprofit organization focused on human economic development and sustainability. It is geared towards eliminating childhood low literacy, crime and poverty by focusing on reading comprehension.  College scholarships are awarded to high school seniors, books are donated to various daycare centers, after-school programs,  libraries, summer camps and schools.  Toots for Books fuels children to read and take control of their future through the utilization of their imagination which is expanded by continuous reading.

 

Low literacy is a global crisis that affects all of us.  That's why it's so important to understand the issues and confront the facts head on.  Only then can we can stand together to fight for change.  Toots for Books mission is to help address our community’s socioeconomic problems by building a more literate population.  When children learn how to read, write, do basic math, and use computers, they are more likely to obtain higher education, lift themselves out of poverty, contribute to improved health care costs, and find and keep sustainable employment. 

 

Toots for Books is dedicated to researching and utilizing local and national statistics to understand the dire need of school aged children in our community and beyond.  We are committed to providing literacy programs, books, housing and financial aid to students in need of assistance.  Toots for Books gives students reading materials, and incentives for reading and writing essays, to encourage them to increase their literacy skills, which are the fundamentals of success and directly related to individuals who are more likely to become productive contributors of their community. Toots for Books approaches literacy holistically including but not limited to financial literacy, health literacy, and social and emotional learning skills in addition to reading comprehension.

I understand in the game of life

The only competitor is who I see when I

Look in the mirror everyday

Before I go to sleep and when I awake

Where I come from doesn’t matter at all to me

Where I’m going is all that matters you see

I fight to be educated and in all ways free

I fight to bring out the champion in me

Then I’ll help others bring out the Champion in them

By strengthening my community is the only way I can win

My life is a service, and I am dedicated to it

Challenges come and I persevere through them

I give back to the places from where I grew

Because I understand this to be true

I AM A CHAMPION, in this game of life

And we all have CHAMPIONS deep inside
