Libraries Without Borders US

06/12/2026

What a day! 🌟 Last Friday, 35 incredible volunteers from Life at Deloitte joined us for their Impact Day and absolutely crushed it 💪

In under 2.5 hours, this amazing crew assembled 300 LIFT Kits, packing over 1,200 multicultural and bilingual books for DC area families with kids ages 0-5! 📚✨

Each kit is a “home library in a box” filled with books to spark connection, caregiver toolkits, crafts, “reading buddies,” and handmade cards from the volunteers 🖍️🧡

A huge thank you to the Deloitte team for rolling up your sleeves in partnership to bring early literacy tools and access to DMV families this summer 📖

Stories can comfort us. Libraries can connect us. Community can change everything 💚📚

This Mental Health Awareness Month, Libraries Without Borders US is reflecting on the power of books, learning, and trusted community spaces to support well-being for children and families 🤝 🧠

Because when people have access to books, resources, and spaces where they belong, communities grow stronger 📖✨

Put a book within reach… and watch what happens 💛📚✨

As we wrap up Children’s Book Week, we’re celebrating the power of stories to inspire imagination, connection, and opportunity for young readers everywhere 🌎📖

When children have books within reach, they build confidence, curiosity, language skills, and lifelong connections to learning 💫

That’s why Libraries Without Borders US works every day to bring books and literacy resources directly into communities. Because every child deserves the chance to see themselves in a book and dream bigger because of it ✨🧡

Today is World Book Day 🌍📚

We see it up close. A toddler in a WIC waiting room who recognizes her family in a picture book. A dad at the laundromat flipping through a bilingual story he'll read aloud at bedtime. A teenager at a school library who finds the one book that finally says it right. Books are joy.

Right now, books are being pulled from shelves and library funding is being cut. When a community loses access to books, it loses something bigger: the freedom to imagine and the tools to act.

So today we celebrate every shelf kept open. Every LIFT kit we've put in a family's hands. Every laundromat, clinic, and classroom we've turned into a reading space. Every reader who picked up a book and felt seen.

Happy World Book Day. Read something that changes you, then put it in someone else's hands 📖
