Since 1992, The Baltimore Reads Book Bank has been
providing new and gently-
throughout the Baltimore region.
Books are donated during our annual Books For Kids Day
book drive, and all year round at the Book Bank. After sorting,
they are distributed free of charge to local schools,
Head Start programs, health clinics, shelters and families.
Baltimore Reads Book Bank has provided over 1.3 million books
to Baltimore area teachers and disadvantaged families.
Books can be dropped off and picked up at our Book Bank,
located in the Baltimore Sun complex at 501 North Calvert Street
in Baltimore.
