Testimonials

"This semester, we’ve loved having a Booking It partnership with Concord. Ms. Cynthia's enthusiasm for reading is contagious. Her lessons are age-appropriate and engaging, and the selection of books is impressive. We are starting to see improved literacy among our youth participants—and they look forward to working with her each week!"

"Booking It is the dream of a dear friend who is changing the lives of youth and inspiring literacy by giving children free books. Her face lights up when telling about a child and their excitement, and pride, after reading a book they didn't think they could manage. Thank you, Booking It, for fueling young minds!"

Melanie Canter – Booking It Donor
"The Booking It Reading Literacy Program has been an incredible addition to Frederick Douglass Park Family Center! It has not only encouraged a love of reading among children and families but also created a warm, engaging space where learning feels fun and accessible. It has truly strengthened our community by bringing families together through the joy of reading. We are proud to host such a meaningful program that continues to make a lasting impact on literacy and learning in our neighborhood."

Kenyatta Moree – Douglass Park Family Center
"As a person that works in the community with families and children I have witnessed how Booking It is uplifting the children of our community, by encouraging their self development and strength through reading. Empowerment through reading establishes powerful, driven and knowledgeable youth that obtain the strength to lead others as they journey through childhood and eventually venture into adulthood with promise and purpose. Booking It is a purpose driven vessel that gives light to every child and is needed. I Am honored to be a witness to the growth that is happening, with anticipation to see how much more will derive from this program."

MsAkiba – Community Member
"Partnering with Booking It Inc. has been such a meaningful experience for our center. Their dedication to improving literacy in our community has made a real difference in the lives of our children. They have visited our center on multiple occasions to provide free books, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to discover the joy of reading. During our schools out camp sessions, they’ve gone above and beyond—bringing books directly to the campers and engaging them in conversations that spark curiosity and excitement about reading. Their efforts not only support literacy but also foster a lifelong love of learning among our youth. I am so grateful for their continued partnership and the positive impact they’ve had on our families and community."
