• Books on the Ground

    Gearing up the Grassroots with the Gift of Reading

  • Purpose

    Libreo is on a mission to help make books more accessible to readers that need them most. As written content keeps growing, we believe that the gap can be addressed by a combination of digital connections and on-the-ground legwork. We've seen that simple solutions do succeed.

     

    As a small, non-profit team of volunteers, we welcome strategic partners for pragmatic programs. Here are some of our valued partners:

    Teacher Judy Gallardo-Estrada

    Head Steward for Partnerships and Distribution

    Judy is a bibliophile who would rather hang out at the bookstore when in the mall. After getting her university degree, she taught grade-school mathematics in the Philippines before embarking on her journey to become a mother of three. She hopes that someday all children would be equipped with the ability to question each and every information instinctively and discover the untarnished truth on their own.
