Caring Causes: Better World Books/Worldwide Literacy

September 8th is International Literacy Day. It’s not only a time to remember that literacy remains a challenge for many parts of the world, but also to be thankful for the life-changing skill that is so easy to take for granted. To help ring in the holiday, Better World Books is having a sale through September 14th. Better World Books is offering 4 books for $11 dollars and $3 each additional book from their special selection. For international orders, they will offer 20% off 4 or more books from the special collection.

Better World Books recognizes that literacy remains a challenge to many parts of the world. According to UNESCO, there are 793 million adults, about one in six of them are not literate. Additionally, 64.7 million children are not in school. Every time you purchase from Better World Books, you support high-impact literacy efforts around the world. You support the funding that Better World Books provides to their nonprofit literacy partners, the Book for Book donations, or the yearly LEAP Grants. Better World Books has raised $12 million for literacy so far, so just by buying a book you are making a difference!
