Indy Book Project

All children deserve to have books in their homes. Indy Book Project provides books to families through relationships with nonprofits, neighborhood centers, schools, and teachers. We're on a mission to ensure all children in the Indianapolis area have access to books. We collect books from the community, then sort, box, and get them right back into the hands of children who need them most.

The Indy Book Project fills Little Free Libraries throughout Boone County and the greater Indianapolis area. Since they are all outdoors many of these libraries have some wear and tear which causes damage to books placed inside. We are looking for donations to help repair them. The main need is plexiglass for doors but also small pieces of exterior plywood for repairs. For plywood either 3/4 or 5/8" thick exterior plywood in 2x2' or 2 x4' pieces
