Help us tell our story to others.  Early literacy, encompassing a child's skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, is crucial for their overall development and future success. It lays the foundation for academic achievement, cognitive development, and social-emotional well-being.

Books From Brek collects, processes and distributes quality new and gently used children’s books to significantly increase book ownership among at-risk infants, toddlers and school-age children throughout the Champaign/Urbana area.  

This nonprofit was created in memory of Brek Neiswender who at a very young age loved books so much that he would sit on our laps for hours enjoying the experience of language combined with the beautiful pictures in books.
