Support literacy programs that distribute books
to children and adults. Reading is fundamental to
success in life, and current statistics show that the
educational careers of 25-40 percent of American
children are in danger because they don't read well
enough. In an increasingly digital world, it's easy for
children to substitute multi-media experiences for
reading in their learning process, and books play a
valuable role in giving them the reading skills and
critical thinking skills they need to lead a full and
productive life.
Support your local library. In 2007, there were
estimated 117,467 libraries nationwide, representing
public, private, academic and specialized libraries.
These institutions provide a service to many who
do not have full access to digital media, as well as
an archive for information of all types.
