Reading books changes lives. Now buying books through the LoveReading online bookstore can change lives, too.

LoveReading, the UK’s leading book recommendation website, has launched an online bookshop with social purpose, in response to the book funding crisis in schools – in a move that’s been praised by the New Children’s Laureate.

Launched 17 years ago, LoveReading and LoveReading4Kids have since become a staple for readers looking for their next book.

Now, they have relaunched, enabling readers the ability to purchase books directly from the site, with 25% of the cover price being donated to a school, delivering better outcomes for the UK’s children. Readers will also receive 10% off the RRP on a huge selection of titles.

Recent research by the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education found that the school funding crisis means that 60% of classrooms have no access to a budget for new books.

Studies also show that reading and writing are key to unlocking a child’s learning potential and allows them to overcome a disadvantaged background.

Offering a socially conscious way to buy books online, LoveReading’s new venture will allow book buyers to actively support their local school. For books ordered and directly allocated to a particular school, the school will receive 25% of the cover price from each sale. When a sale is made and not attributed to a specific school, 10% of the cover price will go into a pot that will then be split between LoveReading’s school members, prioritising a percentage for schools in particular need and supporting pupils in deprived areas.

Go on, buy a book, support a school  and make a difference. 
Because books change lives.
