The organization works through a networked approach, engaging librarians, educators, and caregivers to create inclusive literacy hubs, expand access to decodable books, and implement effective early reading practices across libraries in the United States and Canada. Founded within the nonprofit sector, TMKTR operates through a combination of an online community and local partnerships, aiming to transform libraries into engines for literacy and to reach a broad base of young readers. Since its inception, the group has reported engagement with a substantial number of libraries across multiple states and provinces, reflecting its reach within the library-based literacy ecosystem. A recent development includes ongoing activities within its Literacy @Your Library program, which supports library-centered literacy initiatives and collaboration among participating institutions.
