Here at BDB we believe there’s no such thing as “too many books”. We may have a “shelf problem” or a “free time problem,” but “too many books”?

Not a problem.

Books (and their cousins Reading and Writing) are freedom. They are hope. They open doors to places and people and ideas that literally change our lives.

Books are powerful. Between their covers they hold the secrets of our shared humanity. They spark the courage of rebellion, and bring the comfort of peace.

Books teach and challenge and instigate. They encourage us to believe we can do great things—if not today, then in a future we build together.

And you know what? They’re right.

Make room for books in your life. And no matter where you get them—at school, a public library, or your local independent bookstore—keep reading.

We promise you will never regret it.
