Books are an incredible gift – they help us comprehend the world, find our voice, and become active participants in our communities. That’s why, with your support, LINC helps provide books for families to create their own home libraries.
And it’s because of donors like you that the LINC team is able to handpick books for our programs that feature diverse and inclusive content, encouraging equitable representation in children’s literature and reflecting LINC communities across the city. When children sees themselves in a book, they see themselves in the world!
We are so grateful to have a community of supporters like you who understand that literacy is a powerful and joyful gift that everyone deserves.
Here is a gift from us to you: a list of books we use for our programs and recommend for gifting, curated just for you by the LINC staff!
