Room to Read

A library in Cambodia built by Room to Read

Room to Read focuses on countries in the developing world that are struggling to educate their children, by building schools, libraries, computer and language labs, funding long-term scholarships for girls and publishing local language children’s books. Since its inception in 2000, Room to Read has worked in Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Sri Lanka, Laos, Zambia, and South Africa.

Better World Books began its partnership with Room to Read in Spring 2004, following the December 2003 tsunami. Book drives administered by Better World Books have raised more than $250,000 for Room to Read, which is enough to build 16 schools, or to finance long-term education scholarships for 100 young girls.
