World Book Bank is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on helping individuals build better lives through our reading programs. A significant portion of our readers includes those within the 2.2 million individuals incarcerated in the United States—home to the highest incarceration rate in the world. Research shows that participants in reading programs while incarcerated are significantly less likely to be re-arrested after release.
By providing access to books, we offer hope and empowerment, showing that success is attainable for everyone, regardless of their past. Our reading programs are transformative, allowing individuals to reflect, grow, and initiate positive changes in their lives. These changes not only benefit them but also help them become better parents, employees, and citizens.
