Book Fairies is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that collects reading materials for people in need across metropolitan New York. The donated books aim to support literacy and academic success, offer relief from personal challenges, and cultivate a lasting love of reading across age groups. The organization is based in Freeport, New York, and employs a relatively small staff to coordinate its efforts. In the nonprofit literacy space, Book Fairies redistributes donated books to under-resourced communities in New York City and Long Island, focusing on access to reading material for children and families. It partners with individuals, businesses, and other organizations to close literacy gaps and extend its reach. A notable development in 2026 was a partnership with ThriftBooks Global, LLC that led to a donation of 25,000 children's books to underserved communities across New York City and Long Island.
