Create a Book Sharing Business

Under The Reading Tree is a charity that provides welcoming places for children and adults to learn and experience the joy of reading. They do this by collaborating with local partners. An educational entrepreneur could build a book business (either through a self-publishing model or with support from collaborative partners like libraries) to allow children access to relevant and localized books.
"In cooperation with local partners, Under The Reading Tree provides welcoming places for children and adults to learn and experience the joy of reading. We believe that literacy and access to information are essential tools for unlocking the imagination, for empowering the marginalized, and for bringing about broader social change - one community at a time."

The Challenge Brief

According to this brief, I sense that building a business of book sharing by helping to collaborate with libraries (or create a self publishing model) will offer an opportunity for relevant and affordable content.

Great model and I like your idea of collaborating with a self-publishing model. Local partners + local content sounds like local success to me.
