Welcome to the Queen City Book Bank!
Welcome to the Queen City Book Bank!

We know books in the home and being read to as a child are key indicators of future academic success. We also know the RIGHT book in a child’s hand can alter the future trajectory of their education. 
Our curated book program provides an innovative solution to a critical literacy resource gap.

QCBB's signature book distribution program allows teachers to access our online portal and select 10 new books per year, per student of interest to their students at an appropriate level. This program leverages insights from teachers about what resonates with the individual interests of each student.

Our goal is to empower young readers by curating age level-, cultural- and proficiency appropriate books. Through curated books, students are more likely to engage in reading, leading to increased test scores and graduation rates. We are working to strategically grow the program to serve the resourcing needs for K-3rd grade students throughout the Greater Cincinnati MSA who lack reliable, targeted book access.
