Larry Abrams has always considered himself a bookworm. He loved visiting used bookstores and reading books that others had enjoyed before him. " I certainly like the experience of reading, of going into other worlds, experiencing other cultures, " Abrams said.
Abrams started his teaching career (职业) in a rich area before moving to a high school in the under-resourced community of Lindenwold, New Jersey. " I' d heard of food deserts, but I' d never heard of book deserts. And it occurred to me that I teach in a book desert, " Abrams said. " Many of the kids in school simply struggle with reading. In my ninth-grade class it' s very typical to have kids reading at a fifth-grade reading level. And if you' re struggling with reading, you' re going to be struggling with writing. "
In 2017, Abrams sprang into action. He made a call to his friends and family, asking for gently used children' s books, and in no time, he had more than 1, 000 of them.
He began distributing the books to young moms and local primary schools. That was the start of his nonprofit, BookSmiles. " There are millions of kids in America who have never owned a book in their lives. I want to change that, " Abrams said.
His organization has since collected, sorted and distributed hundreds of thousands of books throughout New Jersey and the Philadelphia area, and will soon reach 1 million, Abrams says.
BookSmiles encourages the community to help collect books and drop them off in the group' s large collection bins, which are painted with literary-themed artwork and located outside local businesses, schools and people' s homes.
Books are often distributed through teachers, who come to the book bank and select as many books as they want. " It' s a feeding frenzy (热潮) when teachers are able to walk away with books that they take back to their classroom libraries and students, " Abrams said. " It' s like an all-you-can-eat buffet meets a used bookstore. "
