Bringing Books to Life
This is an essential program that takes Library resources on the road.

Did you know that only one in four children in Davidson County can read on grade level? Strong reading starts with a strong foundation, which is where our award-winning literacy program Bringing Books to Life comes in. Developed in partnership with early childhood educators and performance artists, Bringing Books to Life provides free support and coaching to more than 62,000 teachers, caregivers, and children across the city, with a focus on underserved areas.
