WELCOME TO GIRLS FOR BOOKS

Hello! We are Neerja and Nidhi Bathla, founders of Girls for Books.

Girls for Books is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit devoted to increasing access, passion, and interest in reading in children and teens, especially girls.

We believe that many current students in our community don’t have access or desire to read or write, due to many factors, including societal pressures, lack of representation in reading, and the book banning initiative. Girls for Books is on a mission to change this narrative, because everyone deserves the right to read.
