Library

At BC Athens, we believe in the power of books to comfort, inspire, and transform lives. That’s why we launched the Lending Library Project — an ongoing initiative that collects books from the friends and extended community of BC Athens, and donates them to shelters, rehabilitation centers, and institutions across the region.

Each book is a small act of care — a story shared, a new perspective offered, or simply a moment of escape. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re able to create small, self-sustaining libraries in spaces where access to reading material is limited.

The first Lending Library was proudly completed at Rewind Foundation, a rehabilitation center whose residents now have access to a curated collection of books they can enjoy at their own pace. Whether it’s fiction, poetry, memoir, or educational material, these books offer a source of joy, reflection, and quiet empowerment.
