Our Vision

Empowering children through sharing the joy of reading, unlocking doors to a world of endless imagination, boundless knowledge, and extraordinary possibilities for their futures.

At Another Chapter, we envision a world where books are readily available to every young reader, every person, and anyone eager to explore the joy of reading. Our mission is to promote literacy by providing books to kids and families in Solano County.

Natalie, Founder of Another Chapter, cherishes her childhood memories filled with books and parents who loved reading. Among her favorites was her father's captivating rendition of "The Three Little Pigs" at bedtime, complete with his impressive wolf impression that both thrilled and delighted her. Sadly, not every child experiences this joy.

Imagine a world where every young mind has the luxury of being read to every night, and every home is filled with books to explore every day. For each child, the books they encounter are a gateway to endless possibilities. It is for these young readers that we are committed to making a difference - sharing not only our books but also our love for reading.

Numerous studies have highlighted the profound impact of early access to books and regular read-aloud sessions on a child's reading development. Establishing a reading culture at home is vital for ensuring all young readers grow up to be avid readers, thriving in both their academic and personal lives. We recognize that children who struggle to read at grade level by the end of third grade face challenges in graduating high school. Our dedication to fostering a love of reading and supporting their academic success is a powerful investment in creating productive and compassionate adults. It's a win-win situation - a brighter future for both individuals and society as a whole.

Together, through the joy of reading, we believe we can contribute to a happier and more fulfilled generation, one where every young reader and person has the opportunity to open a book and embark on endless adventures. Join us in making this vision a reality!
