Why Home Libraries Matter
Research shows that the more books a child has at home, the stronger their academic outcomes.
1 Book
Doubles the likelihood a student will meet grade-level reading benchmarks (Manu et al., 2019).
5 Books
Can help prevent summer reading loss, a gap that quietly compounds over time (Kim, J. S., 2006).
25 Books
Is associated with students completing two additional years of schooling (Evans et al., 2010).

Access to books in the home is one of the strongest predictors of educational achievement and essential to students' health and well-being.
