Book 'Em Book ‘Em is a Macon/Bibb County based non-profit. In Bibb County the poverty rate is 25%.

We partner with the Bibb Sheriff's Office to deliver new, high-quality books to children of all ages in our community who need them. Book ‘Em is a Macon/Bibb County based non-profit which partners with the Bibb Sheriff’s Office to deliver new books to children of all ages in our community who need them. It is our goal to provide books to children in the hope that it will boost reading skills, instill a love of reading, and thus help these children to become more academically successful. It is estimated that 61% of households living at or below the poverty rate do not have any suitable reading materials for children in the household. Most recent statistics from Kids Count, released in 2015, noted that 44% of all children in Macon-Bibb County live below the poverty level. This means that, according to these statistics, that over 10,000 children in our community do not have books that they can read and enjoy in their homes. The goal of Book ‘Em is to “arm”, if you will, our children with books so that they can improve their literacy skills and, hopefully, help them to develop a lifelong habit of reading. For many children in Macon/Bibb the only exposure they might have to the world outside of their community is through reading books that enable them to travel all over the world. We see books as stepping stones on the pathway into a world of possibility!
