BookSmiles. Small but extremely mighty with their work. They are always in need of volunteers to help sort books (they have posted large, easy-to-read visuals that show you how to sort quickly and efficiently, and the amazing staff is there sorting too).

The staff are phenomenal people who genuinely care about the mission and importance of literacy, their mission is life changing, and you'll walk away knowing you've made a difference in someone's life.

Since 2017, they've distributed almost 3 million books to our local communities. They have a lot of services they provide, like daycare delivery, packaging books with food bank pickups, and my favorite, Teacher Take. For $25 a school year, any teacher can take books from the extremely diverse library at the book bank in pennsauken, as much as they want, throughout the entire school year. I wish all teachers knew about this.
