📚 Better ATX 🤝 AISD Library Services
�We believe every child deserves books of their own at home — and we’re proud to help make that possible.

In 2024, Better ATX donated the AISD Book Bus, giving Library Services a dedicated way to bring books directly into neighborhoods. Today, Better ATX and AISD are still going strong, delivering stories into the hands of young readers across Austin.

We’re honored to support AISD in building a community of readers.

Book ownership matters. Access matters. Literacy matters.

📚 Better ATX 🤝 AISD: Supporting Summer Reading & Student Success

One of the most important parts of the Better ATX School Communities program is promoting literacy — especially in the summer, when many students have limited access to books. Research shows that reading just two books over the break helps kids maintain their reading level.

That’s why, more than 10 years ago, Better ATX partnered with AISD to bring books directly into neighborhoods through the Book Bus. Today, we continue to purchase, process, and prepare thousands of books so students can choose their own — and build a home library of their very own.

This week, our volunteers gathered to finish stamping and stickering each book with “A gift from Better ATX” before they head out on the AISD Book Bus this summer.

Book ownership matters. Access matters. Literacy matters.

And we’re proud to stand with AISD to make sure every child has stories to take home. 📖

Congratulations to Angel — A Better ATX Scholar 🎉

Angel graduated in May with her ADN, fulfilling a long‑held dream. A devoted mom and a veterinary technician for more than 25 years, she’s spent her career caring for those who can’t speak for themselves.

Now, she’s bringing that same compassion, strength, and advocacy to the oncology department at St. David’s.🩺

What an incredible example she’s set for her daughter — proving it’s never too late to chase your dreams. 🌟
