Reading Bridge is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting education and literacy in San Francisco Bay Area.

​

Our mission is to ensure students across the San Francisco Bay Area can choose from new, diverse, and inclusive books regardless of socio-economic status.

Guiding Vision and Values

Diversity and Inclusivity – We guide children to books which speak to them. Reading Bridge seeks to expand the literary experience of young readers through the promotion of inclusive storytelling and a diverse pool of authors.

Education & Access – Stories are for everyone. Reading Bridge is dedicated to narrowing systemic gaps in education through our Bridge Fairs and partnering with other nonprofits. We strive to remove barriers to ensure every child goes home with a new book just for them.

Love of Reading – Instilling a love of reading gives children a head start in their overall development. Strong literacy expands vocabulary and builds self-confidence. Reading for pleasure drives creativity and enhances development of critical thinking and a variety of other life skills.
