We work to close literacy gaps, increase access to high-quality books, and build home and classroom libraries. Birdie’s Bookmobile is a Detroit-based nonprofit bringing the joy of reading directly to children and families. We work to close literacy gaps by increasing access to high-quality books, building home and classroom libraries, and inspiring lifelong readers across Detroit. Since launching
in 2022, Birdie’s has distributed nearly a quarter of a million books through its Bookmobile, free school Book Bashes (our version of a book fair), and Birdie’s Book Nest (Detroit’s Not-So-Ordinary Book Bank). Together, these programs help ensure that every child has the chance to read, learn, and dream. We also operate Birdie’s STEM Lab, which brings hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math experiences to schools, camps, and community partners, connecting literacy and STEM in meaningful ways. Proudly nested within the Birdie’s family of companies — Birdie’s Bookmobile, Birdie’s Book Nest, Birdie’s STEM Lab, Nesting Birds Education, and Nesting Birds Publishing.
