Bookfairs for Kids in Transitional Housing!
A personal library for every child
in the NY metro area
no matter their housing situation
About Us
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our Mission
The Bookfair Mobile believes every child should have their own personal library, a set of treasured books that can travel with them regardless of their housing situation. Even if you don't have a book shelf, you can have a mobile book bag! In a world of constant change and uncertainty, a book is a safe and comforting place (or land or world!) that every child deserves.
What We Do
Our Mission
Our Mission
The Bookfair Mobile brings pop-up book fairs to family shelters in the NYC area. We provide every child with a small "My Library" tote bag to fill with the books of their choice. At our book fairs, a child chooses the books they want, making them much more likely to read them and develop a life-long love for reading!
Our Books
Our Mission
Our Books
Our gently-used books are carefully selected from local libraries and schools in order to provide high-quality and engaging literature in excellent condition to children
of all ages. Kids who develop a love for reading reap innumerable cognitive, emotional, and academic benefits that will serve them for a lifetime!
WHO WE SERVE
The Bookfair Mobile has served over 600 children in family and women's shelters in and around New York City including Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, Westchester, and Rockland Counties, distributing more than 5,000 books and 600 personal library bags!
If you are a family or women's shelter, please contact us!
