By providing access to books in a wide range of formats, supported by relevant, socially impactful programming, created by an inspired network of teachers, librarians, writers and readers, the Center for the Book engages people of all ages and backgrounds across Rhode Island. The majority of the Rhode Island Center for the Book's expenses go toward providing thousands of new, relevant books to schools and libraries across the state. The Center purchases 100% from local, independent bookstores. Rhode Island Center for the Book collaborates with RI schools, libraries, nonprofits, churches, book festivals, bookstores, businesses and more to promote empathy, experience and understanding through literacy, discussion education and reading. In these difficult and polarized times, collaboration and not divergence is essential and the strength of the Rhode Island Center for the Book comes from the hundreds of passionate volunteers throughout the state, who drive programming, events and connections.
