SINCE 1998 CLIF'S INSPIRING LITERACY PROGRAMS AND OUR 68 PROFESSIONAL PRESENTERS (AUTHORS, ILLUSTRATORS, POETS, AND STORYTELLERS) HAVE SERVED 300,000 CHILDREN IN 420 COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE TWIN STATES, AND CLIF HAS DONATED 8 MILLION IN NEW BOOKS TO THOSE CHILDREN WHO NEED THEM THE MOST: CHILDREN IN SHELTERS AND LOW-INCOME HOUSING; REFUGEE AND FOSTER CHILDREN; CHILDREN IN RURAL COMMUNITIES WITH LIMITED RESOURCES; CHILDREN OF PRISON INMATES; AND MANY OTHERS.

SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1998, THE CHILDREN'S LITERACY FOUNDATION HAS TOUCHED THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 250,000 CHILDREN IN 420 COMMUNITIES ACROSS NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VERMONT.

CLIF ALSO PROVIDES LITERACY EVENTS AND NEW BOOKS TO CHILDREN SERVED BY HOMELESS SHELTERS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTERS, CENTERS FOR AT-RISK YOUTH, LOW-INCOME HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, AND BOOKMOBILES.
