Creates a pilot program to help local groups get more books to children.
This bill would create a new pilot program within the Department of Education. This program would offer grants of up to $200,000 to local nonprofit and nongovernmental groups. These groups would use the money to buy and give out books to children under 19, donate books to libraries, and host reading events to boost literacy in their communities.
Currently, there is no specific federal pilot program run by the Department of Education that provides grants directly to local organizations for book access activities. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Education would create such a program, offering competitive grants to eligible groups to boost book access and literacy for children across different communities.
