"Who loves children’s books more than I do, well it’s Lisa. She shares her love of books and reading with my students at the Beethoven Elementary School. It’s her kindness that shines through and her willingness to want all children to love reading. Lisa brought books for our students, well over 1,000 books. I’ll never forget the smiles and excitement of the students choosing two books to take home. Our Kindness Projects were such a success with all the support we received from Storytime Crafts."

Programs
Read to Succeed is a literacy program to help end book deserts by providing diverse books for schools, centers and organizations so children have access to FREE books and reading opportunities. This literacy-rich program is designed to inspire and spread the joy of reading.
​
Literacy Through Art of the Book is an initiative to create beautifully crafted story themed chairs for schools and organizations to build literacy-rich environments and spread the joy of reading. Storytime Crafts chairs are integrated into spaces to create an environment where children can explore reading, providing a fun space for interactive read-aloud programs.
​
Storytime Crafts’ initiative matches a sponsor with each Little Free Library placed in a community to promote the joy of reading. Storytime's goal is to increase access to culturally diverse books for readers of all ages and backgrounds and foster neighborhood book exchanges throughout communities where children and families do not have access to books.
​
With a focus on youth development opportunities, Storytime Crafts aims to provide intentional and productive opportunities for youth to experience the positive power of teamwork and diversity. The goal of Storytime's volunteer ambassador program is to strengthen and unite our communities by making good in the world.
​
More Than Books is an initiative to support underserved communities with resources, including games, puzzles, stuffed animals, STEM materials and hygiene essentials.​ Storytime collaborates with schools and organizations for school events and summer programs.
