BookSmiles is on the move and it’s because YOU helped us grow beyond what we ever imagined. In 2025 alone, we placed nearly 1.3 million children’s books into the hands of children and educators who need them most. When we moved into our current 4,300-square-foot facility in Pennsauken in September 2022, I never could have dreamed how quickly our impact would expand.

That growth reached an incredible milestone just last Friday, when we proudly distributed our 4 millionth children’s book—a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together to champion literacy.

Thanks to the generosity of so many committed supporters, we are looking to move this summer. This next chapter will allow us to distribute 2 million books or more each year, reaching hundreds of thousands more children with the joy and power of reading.

As we step into this exciting new year, we invite you to help us share even more book-wealth and learn how you can be part of the story through our programs.

Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous 2026!
