Overview
Mission
The primary exempt purpose of the Children's Books for Impoverished Libraries is to provide Children's Books for Impoverished Libraries
What it reported doing in 2017
The namesake of the charity's mission (Meta Reid), had the goal to give books to impoverished children's libraries. This year the officers of the charity went to Camaguey Cuba to make contact and give books purchased off of amazon to the local children's library. Attempts at maintaining those contacts were unsuccessful in light of poor mail services and electronic communications capability in Camaguey. The officers of the charity (Larry and Lawrence Reid) have decided to find another library in need in a different location to establish contacts with and give children's books to.
