Books Beyond Shelves is a community driven initiative dedicated to bringing the joy of reading and sustainability to children and families. We partner with schools across New York City to host engaging book swaps that help reduce waste, and encourage children to read, share and think sustainably. Every exchange strengthens our mission to build a more connected, mindful and sustainable community.

We’re more than a book program - we’re a growing network of readers, educators, and families committed to building a culture of sharing, environmental responsibility, and lifelong reading and learning.
