MBK's Link to Libraries Day at the Firm

October 5, 2023

MBK recently collaborated with Link to Libraries (LTL) to partake in a dedicated day aimed at fostering a love for reading among young children. The event, appropriately named "Link to Libraries Day," united MBK staff members who undertook the mission of collecting and preparing books for local children's home libraries.


Link to Libraries is an organization deeply committed to enhancing literacy rates and promoting access to books for children. Their "Reading Any Place" (RAP) program centers on providing books to young readers, guided by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to explore the world through literature. With a mission to cultivate a lifelong passion for reading, LTL operates across Massachusetts and Connecticut, making a positive impact on numerous young lives.


The collaboration between MBK and LTL commenced with a visit to the Link to Libraries warehouse, where the team meticulously curated a substantial collection of books. These carefully selected books, tailored to engage young readers, were intended to grace the home libraries of local children.


The dedicated MBK team, including Sandy, Danny, Mia, Fran, Peter, Chris, and Karen,  affixed Link to Libraries labels on each book. This not only identified the books as part of the LTL program but also added a personal touch, indicating they were thoughtfully chosen for young readers. The team successfully unpacked and labeled six boxes of books, totaling approximately 800. Each book was carefully prepared to bring joy and knowledge to young book enthusiasts. Finally, Chelsea graciously delivered the labeled books to Link to Libraries in the afternoon. This initiative ensures that local children, who may have lacked access to a diverse collection, can now benefit from these invaluable resources.


MBK's commitment to fostering a reading culture aligns with Link to Libraries' values of community engagement and giving back. By participating in Link to Libraries Day, MBK contributed to a meaningful cause and showcased the power of collective action in local communities.The collaboration between MBK and Link to Libraries demonstrates that individuals and businesses can create a ripple effect of positive change in the lives of young children. As these books reach eager readers, the enduring partnership between MBK and Link to Libraries will continue to brighten the futures of numerous local children, one book at a time.
