Book’em began in 1989 when four women united to find opportunities to assist the local chapter of Reading Is Fundamental (RIF). Book'em grew through the years, distributing tens of thousands of books annually and adding Ready for Reading, a volunteer-based reading program in early learning centers. Book’em merged with RIF in 2006, and now administers the RIF program in 16 Title I Metro Nashville elementary schools.
