Project Cicero has been featured in local and national publications for its impact on literacy, sustainability, and community engagement. Since 2001, our annual book drive has brought together thousands of families, schools, and volunteers to share more than 4.5 million books with New York City classrooms.
Project Cicero is a nonprofit book drive that collects new and gently used books from families, schools, and publishers and redistributes them to under-resourced New York City public school classrooms.
