The Children's Book Bank

about

The Children's Book Bank provides free books and literacy support to children living in high-needs neighbourhoods across Toronto. Since 2008, the Book Bank has operated a beautiful storefront space located in the Regent Park/St. James Town neighborhood which welcomes school and camp groups as well as families and their children to listen to stories, browse our collection, and choose a favorite book to take home to keep.

In addition to its storefront locations, The Book Bank provides books and literacy materials through community centres, schools, health clinics and social agencies throughout the city. 

In 2022, The Children's Book Bank gave away 120,000 donated books and provided free and fun literacy-focused activities for thousands of children and families.

The Children’s Book Bank will be expanding its programming beyond our current reach in Regent Park and St. James Town. This expansion will occur over a three-year period and will involve the opening of three new book bank storefronts in three of Toronto’s highest needs neighbourhoods – Thorncliffe Park, East Scarborough and the Rexdale/Jane & Finch community.
