Room to Read works in partnership with local communities to establish schools, libraries and other educational infrastructure throughout the world. It establishes libraries and stocks them with games, furniture and local language children's books. The organization offers the Local Language Publishing Program, which sources new content from local writers and artists and publishes high-quality children's books in the local language and English. Room to Read also provides long-term scholarships to girls so they have the opportunity to go to school. In addition, it establishes computer and language laboratories to provide students with access to computer technology and help them in learning other languages. The organization has distributed over 3 million books, built more than 425 schools, established nearly 5,000 libraries, developed approximately 150 computer and language laboratories and put over 4,000 girls on long-term scholarships. Room to Read is located in San Francisco.
