Publishers Weekly recently posted about a new initiative by Penguin Group and the Pearson Foundation.
The program, found at www.wegivebooks.org, provides access to “a growing digital collection of Penguin Group’s classic children’s literature”.
Each time you read one of the books online, Pearson donates a book to a child through their partnerships with various literacy organizations. These include United Through Reading, Haiti Learning Spaces, and others.
Every time you read a new book online, you can select the organization you wish to support.
They intend to donate more than one million books in the first year.
Pretty cool!
