Connecting kids with books they love to nurture reader identities - at home & in the classroom.
Our Programs
Through our partnerships with local elementary schools, NBC targets individual student literacy needs by growing home libraries full of meaningful, intentionally chosen, diverse books in under-served communities. NBC books offer windows and mirrors for young readers to feel seen and see others.
NBC relies on book access at home, student agency, and student voice to meet individual literacy needs. Our approach is personalized, collaborative, student-centered, and data-driven.
NBC Book Cart Program
The Book Cart Program grows home libraries full of new, diverse, and meaningful books for young readers. Our team works hard to offer students curated book choices that speak to their interests and needs. Students will take home a new book every week for 6 weeks. These books are theirs to keep forever!
NBC Classroom Program
The NBC Classroom Program is a resource for our educator partners. NBC team members work with teachers to build their classroom libraries with new books that support their teaching and learning needs. NBC team members offer additional support through read aloud resources, classroom activities, and the NBC Look Book.
