Bring Until Everyone Can Read: Children’s Books Representing Dyslexic Readers to Your Library
NOBIDA is expanding Until Everyone Can Read: Children’s Books Representing Dyslexic Readers across Northern Ohio, one library at a time.

Who Can Become a NOBIDA Library Partner?
Because NOBIDA's resources are currently limited, our donated book collections are prioritized for community libraries serving school districts with higher levels of poverty (as defined by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce), where families may have less access to dyslexia resources.
Libraries are considered based on factors such as:
- Location within NOBIDA's service area
- The communities and school districts the library serves
- NOBIDA's available funding and ability to support the library
What Does a Participating Library Receive?
A NOBIDA library partner receives:
- A curated collection of children's books representing children with dyslexia and learning differences.
- Printed resources designed to help caregivers understand dyslexia and support reading development.
- Access to digital resources, including additional additional initiative materials, activities, and videos.
- Resources that help libraries introduce and promote the collection to their communities.
- Opportunities for additional collaboration.
The specific collection and resources provided may vary based on the needs of each library.
