About Us

Who we are

Reading Tree supports children's literacy by getting books into the hands of children.

 

Reading Tree places and maintains book collection bins in communities across the country. By collecting and redistributing used books, we are able to support literacy programs by providing fundamental books to kids.

 

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has classified Reading Tree as a public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our tax identification number is 26-4076893.   For a copy of our IRS determination letter, click here.

Over 1.7 million books donated and delivered to schools, libraries and children!

We are a nonprofit organization that delivers an effective solution to two problems:

  1. The domestic problem of excess books going into landfills
  2. The global problem of not enough books in needy areas.
