The Mary Ladky Teen Award is a mentorship program for high school students interested in learning about literacy and making a difference in their communities. Its purpose is to support ongoing literacy development in teen years, as well as provide hands-on learning and valuable work experience.

The Children's Book Bank turns 18 this month and you're invited to join in the birthday celebrations all month long!

We will also be reaching a major milestone sometime in May as we give away our 2 MILLIONTH BOOK! Keep an eye out—we'll be tracking the number of books we give away each day and have something special planned when we reach 2 million.
