Rotary Books4Home

However, children and young people who do have a book of their own at home are six times more likely to read above the level expected for their age compared with their peers who don’t have their own book.

Rotary Books4Home

• allows youngsters to experience owning a book of their own.
• empowers children to develop their love of reading
• encourages Children to share their love of reading with family and friends

Mercia and Marches Rotary is a committed supporter of Books4Home and welcomes enquiries.

Many Schools have very few or even no library books

Other schools have plenty and regularly renew their stocks of books

​Rotary Books4School Libraries recycle these unwanted books and share them with schools where the books are needed to establish or enhance the school library 

​Books that would otherwise be thrown away now have a second chance to Make a Difference in the World.

We need you help now - Donate Books

Rotary Books4Home is transforming Staffordshire prisons by bringing books to prisoners and their children. What started with donating surplus adult fiction books to HMP Oakwood's library to boost literacy (where the average reading age is just eleven!) has blossomed into something truly special.​

Now, Rotary Book Boxes, built by prisoners themselves, are placed in Visits Halls. HMP Oakwood is a training prison and has a Wood Shop where the men produce a whole range of items including … wood sheds.
