Reading For All was created by Elizabeth Simons in 2022 as a Gold Award Project for Girl Scouts. Its goal is to provide free and accessible books for people of all ages, races, religions, and incomes. Reading For All has two outreaches to the community. 

​

Reading For All was initially created as a library to reach the St. Paul, Minnesota community.  Elizabeth partnered with Project Home and Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul to create a new library and reading space for the families using their care and resources. As time passed, this website was created to give everyone, no matter where they were in the world, free and easy access to children's books.
