Neighbor to Neighbor Literacy Project, (N2N), is a 501(c)3 entity that promotes equal access to free books and sparks neighborhood engagement around the joy of reading. We do this by installing book exchange boxes in Chicago's parks and neighborhoods and offering interactive programs and creative activities to advance literacy development. With our citywide book sharing network we encourage collaboration and interaction between neighborhoods as a means to break down barriers and nurture hope and resiliency in Chicago.
