Welcome to Annie’s Foundation

In Memory of Ann Lohry-Smith

Our mission: To ensure members of our community have unhindered access to books with characters and subjects that reflect the diversity and complexity of the world around them.

Annie’s Foundation is proud to be a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

We have a Book Wish List!

Don’t want to make a monetary donation? Consider donating a book instead!

We’ve partnered with Storyhouse Bookpub, a local, woman-owned bookstore, to offer a Wish List. You can purchase a book from their website on Bookshop.org and the books will be shipped directly to Annie’s Foundation! Your purchase gets banned and challenged books in the hands of your community while also supporting a small, locally-owned business.

Annie’s Foundation was started by a few suburban moms who got fed up with local efforts to keep books out of libraries.

We decided to fight back by giving back. Annie’s Foundation plans to distribute free copies of banned and challenged books for readers of all ages.
