BookSpring

BookSpring champions early literacy to empower children with a lifelong love of reading.

We:
• Support families with the tools they need to cultivate reading from birth on.

• Serve as a pace setter and community catalyst to illustrate how reading can unleash all that every individual has the capacity to become

• Organize collaboration with others to provide improved access to literacy opportunities.

• And, most importantly, open the world to children through reading.

Description:
BookSpring, in affiliation with Reading Is Fundamental and Reach Out and Read, instills children with a love of reading and promotes books as a means to success. By offering a range of programs that support early literacy, BookSpring champions the value of reading and encourages parents to read to their children from birth on, resulting in stronger families and increased life-long opportunities for every child.

History:
BookSpring was formed in March of 2008 from pre-existing agencies Reading Is Fundamental of Austin (RIF) and Capital Area Reach out and Read (CAROR)
