A book gifting program for young children has been ongoing. It was founded by a well-known figure who was inspired by her father's inability to read or write. This program has sent millions of books to children.
More than 1,000 children under 5 have received books in one community. A library there has been partnered with the program since 2022.
Further information about the program's impact is available, including reflections from library partners on the founder's legacy.
