Little Free Library meets Limeades for Learning! To inspire new readers and make books more accessible, SONIC is sponsoring 25 Little Free Libraries in communities across the country. The initiative kicked off with a custom book-sharing box installation at Solidarity Sandy Springs near the brand’s Atlanta headquarters, sharing books and fostering a love of reading right in its own backyard.
“Education has always been at the core of our Limeades for Learning program, and we’ve seen the impact it’s had over the past 15 years with more than $28 million going to support public school teachers and students across the markets SONIC serves,” said Stuart Brown, Executive Director of the SONIC Foundation. “Making books more readily available, whether in schools or local communities, is key to fostering lifelong learning. Partnering with Little Free Library and DonorsChoose helps turn our passion for literacy into meaningful action this National Book Month and engage and empower the next generation through books.”
Anyone can apply to bring one of the 25 SONIC-sponsored Impact Libraries to their community through our Impact Library Program.
“Everyone deserves a book to read, but many kids still struggle to find them, even with support from local schools and libraries. It’s an honor to partner with SONIC Drive-In this month to bring 25 book-sharing boxes to communities that need them most,” said Little Free Library Executive Director Greig Metzger. “Having reliable access to books is the first step to unlocking the power of reading, and Little Free Library is thrilled to play a part in SONIC’s efforts to expand book access and spread the joy of reading nationwide.”
Through the Impact Library Program, we provide no-cost Little Free Library book exchanges to communities where books are scarce. We’ve granted more than 1,500 libraries through this program.
