Because of you, this Giving Challenge was more than a fundraiser… it was a reminder of what a community can do together. 💛📚

To every single person who donated to Brand New Chapters, thank you. Your generosity means more books in more hands, more Little Libraries in neighborhoods that need them, and more opportunities for children, families, and seniors to experience the joy of reading.

What makes this even more powerful is that your gifts were amplified through the incredible support of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and The Patterson Foundation. Because of you and their matching support, every dollar went even further to expand access to books across our community.

This mission has always been about giving new life to books and making reading accessible to all and you helped bring that mission to life in a big way.

We are so grateful. And we are just getting started. 📖✨

It starts tomorrow 💛📚
The Giving Challenge is almost here, and Brand New Chapters is ready to turn even more pages into possibility.
Every book we place into the hands of a child, a family, or a senior is a chance to spark imagination, build connection, and create opportunity. Through Little Libraries and book donations, we’re making reading accessible to those who need it most.
And the best part
Your impact goes even further.
From April 15–16 (noon to noon), every unique donation up to $100 will be matched 1:1 by The Patterson Foundation
We’re also incredibly grateful to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County for making the Giving Challenge possible and bringing our community together around generosity.
That means:
$25 becomes $50
$50 becomes $100
$100 becomes $200
Every dollar helps us build, stock, and maintain Little Libraries across our community.
Be part of the story. Help us put more books into more hands.

We love new partnerships, and this one is especially close to our hearts.

We’re proud to donate books in support of reading initiatives at Nate's Honor Animal Rescue Center, where meaningful connections are formed between kids and dogs. There’s something powerful about a child building confidence through reading, with a loyal companion right by their side.

Together, we’re helping create moments that inspire a love of reading, compassion, and connection 🐾📖

Thank you, Dr. Guffanti from The Rocket Phonics Foundation for sharing this fascinating research.

This study from UCLA highlights just how powerful books in the home can be. The data compares the impact of books to other factors like IQ, economic status, and occupation and the results are remarkable. Access to books is more than three times as impactful as IQ when it comes to educational outcomes.

Even more encouraging, the positive impact begins with as few as 10 books in the home.

What an incredible reminder that something so simple can make such a meaningful difference. If you’ve been thinking about giving, this is your sign to donate books today and help change a life.
