Summary
The Open Books, Open Doors Act would set up a grant program run by the Secretary of Education to fund literacy materials, evidence‑based reading programs, and family‑literacy services in areas lacking books.

The goal is to improve reading outcomes and long‑term economic prospects for disadvantaged learners.
