Since 2016, Storybridge has been working in Amarillo, Texas, to combat a massive inequity affecting our most vulnerable citizens - the lack of children's books in low-income homes. Research asserts that an early introduction to books in the home is the #1 predictor of academic success for a child. But tragically, 2 out of 3 low-income families have zero books for their children at home, stacking the odds against them before they ever enter school. Today, Storybridge is a successful 501(c)3 nonprofit organization passionate about book ownership for children and dedicated to Changing the Story for our local children through high-impact programs:

  • Dolly Parton's Imagination Library makes it possible for EVERY child in our service area to receive a free book mailed directly to their home every month from birth - 5 years old, dramatically increasing the number of children ready for Kindergarten! 

  • Storybridge Free Book Fairs allow a completely free book shopping experience for eligible elementary school students

  • Storybridge Little Free Libraries is a network of free-standing book receptacles offering 24/7 access to children's books in neighborhoods with limited resources

  • Summer Storytime provides weekly read alouds and activities for kids at parks and venues all around the city - FREE!

  • Kinderbridge offers high-impact guided playgroups for children birth-5 and their parents.
