📚 Books, Books, and More Books: Kares 4 Kids Legacy of Literacy 2026

Only 34% of Georgia’s children are proficient readers when they enter fourth grade. Kares 4 Kids and Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners are determined to change that - one book at a time.

Here’s what our market centers accomplished this spring through our Legacy of Literacy program:

• Barrow Jackson donated 841 brand new books to the Braselton Public Library System, benefiting 20,184 children

• Greater Athens donated 2,367 books to Books for Keeps, supporting children in their summer reading program

• Stockbridge donated 4,360 books to the McDonough Public Library System, benefiting the literacy of 78,480 children

• North Gwinnett & Sugarloaf donated 1,340 books to the Gwinnett County library system on March 3rd, improving literacy for 32,160 children

• Augusta Partners hosted a “Books and Bears” party, delivering both literacy and comfort to local children through donations to local charities

Total children impacted through books alone this season: over 130,000.

Every book is a door. Every reader has a future. Thank you to every KW agent, leader, and donor who helped open that door for a child in Georgia this year.
