Love reading? We do too! Help promote literacy and get books into the hands of our communities by hosting a book drive!

CAPI is a steward of 2 Little Free Library boxes connected to the Read in Color initiative. Read in Color “distributes books that provide perspectives on racism and social justice; celebrate BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized voices; and incorporate experiences from all identities for all readers.” Read in Color promotes inclusion and gives readers in our communities a chance to see themselves represented in the pages of a book, and, “provides a window into experiences different from our own.” Our boxes are housed at both of our locations in Brooklyn Center and in Minneapolis.

Want to donate funds to purchase books? Monetary donations can be made online (write Book Drive in note section) or checks can be mailed or dropped off to our Brooklyn Center location with the name of your organization or book drive sponsor in the memo.
