Welcome
to ACCESS BOOKS. We hope you will take a few moments to browse
our website and learn more about our organization.
The
goal of ACCESS BOOKS is to provide high interest, enjoyable
reading materials to provide to school and community libraries.
Research
has validated the close correlation that exists between successful
reading and the number of books in school libraries. In fact,
the size of the school library collection is the best predictor
of academic achievement. Among school and community predictors
of academic achievement, the size of the school library collection
and staff is second only to the absence of poverty. The more
books children have access to in their school libraries, the
more they will read.
