Sort, Stamp and Pack Free Books for Kids
+HR.jpg)
The mission of Brooklyn Book Bodega is to increase the number of 100+ book homes for kids 0-18 in NYC. Research shows that kids who read have stronger vocabulary, do better in school, and have more opportunities in life. We provide access to and ownership of children’s books, build community, and create a passion for learning through free events and literacy-based community programming.
Join us at our Book Hub at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to spend a few hours helping us stamp and sort books that will be distributed to kids across New York City. Our volunteering sessions are welcoming to all, as well as a great way to meet people and connect with others that love reading.
Volunteers 18+ welcome and ages 13-17 with guardian consent. For individual volunteering opportunities, learn more here.

Why 100 Books? In a research study of 42 countries, the quantity of books in homes was the second most important predictor of reading performance. In fact, having about 100 books in the home yielded a reading performance 1.5 years higher than those with fewer books. |
