you sell him a whole new life."

Sustainability Through The Book Exchange
With start-up assistance from the Abell Foundation, Baltimore Reads launched the Book Exchange. The Book Exchange is a program to help offset the operating costs of the Book Bank via the online resale of adult reading level books, which were donated to Baltimore Reads. The five-year business plan is to create revenue sufficient to recover Book Bank costs and our support literacy programs.
Although we launched the Book Exchange to help recover the growing costs of operating the Book Bank, we remain committed to providing free children’s books. We will continue to distribute all donated children’s books free of charge.
