Books4Buddies (B4B) is a campaign that encourages literacy and provides leisure reading material, free of charge to disadvantaged youth, especially boys, in Northwest Ohio. Summer events, community centers, migrant HeadStart camps, near lower-income youth, who tend to lack access to books at home, serve as sites for our lively, interactive giveaway events where reading is always presented as Big Fun! Local celebrities, leaders and athletes support our special programs - so you never know who you might see. B4B receives support in the form of new and 'gently used' donations from local businesses and the general public.
