All profits from Birdies & Books go toward collecting, processing and redistributing children’s books to Chicago area at-risk children. Since our founding in December 2009, Bernie’s Book Bank has collected, processed and distributed more than 770,000 books to at-risk children from Zion to the south side of Chicago and everywhere in between.
By 2013, Bernie’s Book Bank plans to be distributing 1 million books per year to at-risk children in Chicagoland. You can help us achieve that vision, and change the lives of millions of children, through your support of Birdies & Books. So please join us to help us connect children needing books with books needing children. For details and registration, go to http://www.berniesbookbank.org/about/our-events/.
