Bill overview
The Empowering Young Readers Act of 2026 aims to improve children’s access to books by establishing a pilot program. The U.S. Department of Education will award grants to eligible organizations – such as nonprofits – to purchase, distribute, or promote books to children. The program will run for two years and require grant recipients to report on the impact of their activities, including the number of books provided and any changes in child literacy rates. This legislation also authorizes $10 million in funding for the program in fiscal year 2026.
