BOOKENDS IS ABOUT KIDS HELPING KIDS FOR LITERACY BookEnds was founded by an 8 year-old boy who independently led his school class in a book drive to build a much-needed library at a local home for abused children. His simple act of generosity was the inspiration and model for BookEnds, where students recycle gently-used children’s books to provide Los Angeles’ under served children the opportunity to read. Today, BookEnds is a small entrepreneurial non profit organization that has a huge impact throughout Los Angeles by creating the next generation of readers and leaders.
