ENABLING EVERY CHILD TO IMMERSE IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS
Reading opens an infinite world of ideas and sparks imagination in children all over the world. Unfortunately, not all children have access to books, but we are going to change that!
Joy of Reading (JoR) is a volunteer driven non-profit organization with a presence in the United States and India. We provide gently used books to help build libraries that enrich young minds, inciting creativity and knowledge. We train educators to assess reading progress, encourage success, and enhance the enjoyment of reading through the diversity of books we provide. We invite you to explore our organization and be a part of the process of bringing the joy of reading to children.
