Studies show school success starts with literacy proficiency from a young age, yet three out of five students growing up in poverty don’t have a single age-appropriate book in their homes. DIBS for Kids is changing the way schools deliver books into the hands of children who need them most.
Allowing children to make their own decisions fosters a passion that just isn't attainable through mandated reading.

We are working with public schools in Omaha to provide an opportunity for all kids, Pre-K through 2nd grade, to read a book at home, every night for fun.
DIBS for Kids is a literacy nonprofit founded by a former first grade teacher. We believe every student should have a great book to read at home every night, regardless of family income.
With our classroom-based libraries, we support teachers to send books home with students in a hands-off way. With our student-led technology, we aim to make reading the most fun thing our students do every evening.
