Born to Read

We promote early literacy by encouraging parents to read, sing & play with their babies by providing information and books at no charge.

We promote literacy and school success by encouraging parents to read to their babies and by providing literature and free books in the Grand Traverse County Region of Kalkaska, Leelanau, Traverse City, Antrim and Benzie Counties.

YES, Born to Read is HAPPY because every Munson Medical Center newborn receives a new book from us in their crib before they go home. Why not spread that happiness? Fellow Sunrise Rotarians will deliver this little gem to dozens of babies in Granada and Guatemala in the coming weeks.😁

Our packing team is growing and growing! Is it because we distribute over 700 books every month...or that we have so much fun doing it?!!?😁
