Pageturner
To promote reading among young people, I run a nonprofit program called Pageturner.
Founded in 2011, Pageturner promotes the love of reading by providing Kindles and an unlimited library of books to elementary, middle, and high school students in Oakland and the Bay Area.
Pageturner is run by an amazing group of volunteers, in partnership with dedicated teachers who care deeply about their students and the power of reading.
Pageturner distributes donated Kindles to students and gives them unlimited access to an extensive e-book library. If a student wants to read a book that’s not in the library, they request the book, and within 24 hours, it gets delivered to their Kindle, thanks to Pageturner’s volunteer book-buying team. Students may bring their Kindles home and read whenever they like.
