What is the Blue Book House Project?

The Blue Book House Project is a book exchange program of the Read to Me, Tucson! Partnership. The Blue Book Houses (bookcases shaped like houses) enable families to increase their home libraries so that they can read aloud together more often. Tucson families are invited to take a book home with them.

Positive experiences with books early in life develops a life-long love of books and reading. Access to quality, age appropriate books in the home is one of the most important indicator’s for success in school. To develop a greater culture of literacy, this project seeks to place books in all of our city spaces. We challenge our community to get excited about sharing great books through this and other projects!
