Success Stories
Across the country, schools that invest in classroom libraries are seeing real results— both in student outcomes and in the school community. In St. Louis, one district placed red bins of books across schools: in buses, gyms, and cafeterias. The goal was simple—make books impossible to miss. The impact? Attendance improved. Disciplinary incidents dropped. And reading became part of the rhythm of the day. In Little Rock, educators are combining at-home access with classroom libraries to tackle deep-rooted book deserts. Their Reading in the Rock initiative is helping build a citywide focus on reading—starting in classrooms and growing outward. And in countless classrooms, teachers report students becoming more confident, curious, and engaged simply because they have the right books within reach. These aren’t isolated wins. They’re proof that when we prioritize daily access to books— especially in the spaces where students learn most—we create environments where reading can take root and students can succeed.
