Inspiration
Dusty Reads is in celebration of the life of my son Dustin, of his deep love for books and passion for reading. Dustin passed away at the age of 27.
Our Plan / Mission Statement
To collect and redistribute new and gently used children’s books to preschool, kindergarten and early primary school age children with limited access, to increase their love for books and reading with the sense of wonder and adventure books can bring. Books will be provided for classroom environments as well as for the children to take home to own.
Target Audience
Dusty Reads is distributing books to a variety of settings for children in both our home community and abroad. That means classrooms in the local Cleveland and Akron areas such as preschools, kindergartens, primary grades, Sunday school programs, shelters and the like, both for home and at school. Dusty Reads is also partnering with the African Library Project by providing books to their organization. They will in turn deliver those books to an African school where English is spoken to establish a children’s library where none exists.
