Opening the Door to Literacy, One Book at a Time
At Read to Grow, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive through the power of reading. From birth through childhood, we provide families across Connecticut with free books and early literacy support to build strong foundations for learning and life.
Through our core programs — Books for Babies, Books for Kids, and the Bookmobile — we’re reaching more communities than ever and delivering hundreds of thousands of books each year to the hands and homes that need them most.
Our statewide impact continues to grow — and so does our commitment to making literacy a reality for all children.
