The Library Project strengthens children’s literacy by partnering with local nonprofit organizations that understand the needs, languages, and education systems of their communities. These trusted NPOs and NGOs implement programs on the ground, ensuring every library, book donation, and literacy activity is culturally relevant and locally led. Partners also benefit from our more than twenty years of experience, gaining support in operations, program monitoring and evaluation, and access to international fundraising capacity that is often costly or difficult for smaller organizations to build on their own.
By working through local partners rather than establishing large field offices, The Library Project keeps operating and overhead costs low, directing more donor funding into programs that benefit children, teachers, and families. This partnership-driven model focuses resources where they matter most: providing books, building libraries, training educators, and helping parents foster a love of reading at home. Together, we reach more communities, strengthen local literacy ecosystems, and create lasting change for children around the world.
Free Tools and Resources for Literacy-Focused Nonprofits
At The Library Project, we believe strong literacy programs are built through collaboration and shared learning. As part of our Global Partnerships work, we offer a growing collection of free, downloadable resources designed to support literacy-focused nonprofit organizations around the world.
These tools reflect more than twenty years of experience building libraries, supporting educators, and strengthening community-based literacy initiatives. Whether you are launching a new program or refining an existing one, these resources are intended to help you plan, implement, and measure impactful literacy work.

Our Global Partners
Together with our partners, we expand access to books, libraries, and literacy programs in communities around the world.
Where We Work
At The Library Project, we’re dedicated to improving children’s literacy in communities where access to books and learning resources is limited. We work with schools, community centers, and local partners to build libraries, provide teacher training, and support family reading at home.
Our goal is simple: to ensure every child, no matter where they live, has the opportunity to read, learn, and grow.
