Our Mission

It is well-documented that children from underserved communities hear on average about 30 million fewer words by the age of 3 than children in well-resourced communities. This serious disparity affects later language development, reading readiness and, ultimately, school success. With this in mind and knowing how children in other communities benefit from countless enrichment opportunities through after-school programs, library, and other activities, the idea for the Little Red Wagon Library was born. We are a non-profit mobile library and literacy program, providing at-risk children in daycare and schools with greater access to books.
