Description
The NBC BOOK CART program grows home libraries full of new, diverse and meaningful books for young readers. It allows K-5th graders opportunities to choose books they want to read. This 6-week program offers weekly book choice from our fully-stocked mobile Book Carts. With each visit, students get individualized one-on-one time with NBC team members and volunteers as they find the "right" books that match their interests and needs. By the end of the program, all K-5th grade students in NBC partner schools will have 6 new, meaningful books that are theirs to take home and keep.

The BOOK REQUEST PROGRAM is the "Part 2" to the Book Carts. It relies on NBC-created content to:
-Introduce students to NBC books & reader identity concepts,
-Allow students to request books from NBC,
-Continue one-on-one relationship building through personalized letters to students from NBC volunteers.
This program fosters student growth as independent and confident readers.
