Our Mission

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to making books accessible for all to explore. By designing, building, and distributing custom handcrafted wooden library boxes, we bring the gift of reading to communities—free of charge. Our library boxes are more than beautiful structures; they are community cornerstones that inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of reading.

My name is Max Brunner, and I am the Executive Director of Book to the Box, Inc. Our organization is committed to designing, building, and distributing the world’s finest handcrafted wooden library boxes. At Book to the Box, we recognize the transformative power of reading and are passionate about making this experience accessible to everyone. In addition to designing, building, and installing these exquisite library boxes, we also take pride in monitoring and maintaining them to ensure their lasting impact. To continue this important work, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses in our community.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to help us share the gift of reading.

Sincerely,

Max E. Brunner Executive Director

Our Work is a Labor of Love ... for Reading

If you can imagine it, we can create it—delivering a one-of-a-kind library box tailored to your vision. Our custom library boxes are built square, true, and with tight-fitting miters and joints, each box reflects meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.

We invite you to consider supporting our efforts through a donation or by sponsoring a custom-designed library box of your own. Your contribution will be instrumental in helping us complete our latest project, and in recognition of your generosity, your name will be featured on a bronze donor plaque adorning one of our next library boxes.
