In 2022, we donated to the Catherine Place Women’s center in Tacoma Washington.
In 2021 and 2022, we sent donations to the Washington based Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital.
To fund our initiatives of getting books, Little Bear Literacy held an annual bake sale!
Bake sales are always a hit.
All proceeds from the bake sale went towards the forthcoming projects.
You can read fiction, you can read non-fiction, but you can read plenty of other things, like music!
That’s why we helped the UCSF Benioff’s Children’s Hospital by donating music books to them!
The more Little Free Libraries in the world, the better. That’s why we built the UCSF Benioff’s Children’s Hospital build their own!
This was an initiative to help children at the library have a consistent stream of literature provided by the community. The Library continues doing so today.
Joan Frank is a bay area based award-winning author of fiction and non-fiction books.
We held a fundraiser in partnership with Joan to raise money to provide Sonoma County youth with new books.
Little Free Libraries are great for communities. They provide a hub where people can help themselves to literature, as well as donate the literature they no longer need. Your new favorite book may be in a Little Free Library near you!
We helped the SAY Dream Center build their Little Free Library so that they could be a destination for free book enthusiasts.
These were donations for the Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital of Stanford University.
In donating to the hospital, we hoped to provide a wealth of literature for kids whether they were in the waiting room, or a hospital bed!
Kaiser Permanente’s pediatrics department provides help for everything from sports to vaccinations.
The donations to Kaiser’s pediatrics program were intended to help kids get the care they needed.
In April 2016, Little Bear Literacy went from an idea, to an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organiziation!
This was a powerful milestone for the project, both showing our commitment to the future, while at the same time showing how far we’d come in less than a year!
Seeking funding for our future projects, we were awarded a $1,000 grant. The grant money came from the Bread for the Journey national organization, a national initiative to provide grants to members of the community doing work towards social good.

Social Advocates for Youth (SAY) is a Santa Rosa based center for at-risk youth. We put together a book cart for the SAY program’s Dream Center also using the books collected from the June book drive.
Using the books collected from the book drive, we assembled a book cart for the Living Room, a women’s center in Santa Rosa, CA. The books selected for the cart were a mix of adult and youth literature.
This was a book drive that encouraged classmates and their families to bring their unused books, so that they could be donated to causes in need.
This project involved organizing the drive, community outreach, and gathering volunteers to help collect the donated books.
