Access to Books for Children

Books to Teachers, Schools, Students, and Non-profits

MISSION:  ABC’s mission is to provide books to children and those working with children in need.

Access to Book for Children (ABC) provides books to teachers, schools, students and non-profits, and others in need, free of charge.

The types of children’s books include – board books, paperback and hardback picture books, early readers, chapter books and nonfiction.

ABC was founded by Kim Johnson in 2017 out of a passion to provide access to books and support reading for children. 

ABC has distributed over 60,000 children’s books in the following ways:

  • Events at schools — In May 2022 over 3,000 books were distributed at several elementary schools.  Students could select 2 books to take home for the summer.
  • Books for new teachers – new education graduates come to ABC and select books to start their classroom libraries.  Events are regularly held at Bethel University for graduating education majors.
  • Community programs  to provide free books to children.
  • International Distributions — ABC has partnered to distribute over 10,000 books to schools in Cebu, Philippines
