Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Educational Services
Mission: Your Children’s Bookshelf is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing free children’s books through our donors and Program Partners to families and children; encouraging the love of reading, fostering literacy and education. Your Children’s Bookshelf (YCB) was sparked and inspired by published children’s author Mary Jane Miller, whose life was marked by the love of reading, writing, and family. Mary Jane’s incredible connection to children and caregivers is woven through her stories and her family.
Results: Book Fairs- The YCB team hosts free book fairs for children and families in collaboration with our Program Partners. The gently used books range from newborn to eighth grade reading levels. Most children/families choose between 6-10 complimentary books. Since 2018, YCB has provided over 3,200 books to children through Book Fairs. Book Certificates - YCB provides certificates for free gently used children’s books through our Program Partners. The children/families fill out the certificate indicating age/grade and interests. The certificates are then sent to YCB. The request is filled, and the books are delivered to our Program Partners. We have provided over 1,278 books to over 426 children through this program to date.
