What We Do
Birdie's Bookmobile is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating book deserts and getting books into the hands and homes of children and families in Detroit. Our mission is to make quality diverse + culturally relevant books more accessible, increasing the number of books children have access to at home, and improving literacy outcomes.
We have a variety of strategies for achieving this impact, including distributing FREE BOOKS at no cost to students, schools, and partner organizations in Metro Detroit via recurring grade-banded monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly book fairs. We also offer embedded literacy enrichment programs.
