This organization was started in 2021 by Natasha Agarwal, a current 11th grader at Canterbury School & daughter of current SWFL Penn Club Board Member. During the height of the pandemic, reading was a big part of being at home for Natasha. The realization that not everyone has access to books in their everyday lives made a significant impact on Natasha.
This inspired her to start BelieveNBooks so that everyone could have the chance to get lost in a book. In addition, research shows that children who read regularly are more likely to succeed in school--and beyond. But there are many children right here in Southwest Florida who do not have access to reading materials. That is why BelieveNBooks has partnered with the local nonprofits to distribute books to the underserved community of SW Florida.
