About Us
On the Same Page Boston is a student-run advocacy campaign working to narrow literacy disparity in Boston Public Schools (BPS). Every semester, OTSPB partners with a Boston Public School to gather books for students.
We created a campaign to inform the greater Boston community of the importance of Boston Public School libraries, raise awareness of the city's literacy disparity, and collect books to make dreams happen for school children.
We are passionate about gathering a diverse array of books that represent students' identities. Exposure to representational books improves
self-esteem, interest in reading,
and language skills.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to be a part of a story.
