Founding Sponsors

Fund literacy infrastructure.

Your logo never touches a child. Your money puts books in boxes and libraries on the map. Inklings Book Club gives kids 100 classic books, quizzes, and read-aloud — free forever, through their local library. Sponsors fund the concrete units that make it real: steward kits, printed waves, and directory pages for the thousands of libraries with no digital presence at all.

What your sponsorship buys

Not ads. Not impressions. Units you can count — kits shipped, pages built, towns on the map. Every tier is a specific build, delivered by the Lab and reported back with photos.

$500

Founding Supporter

Funds 20 little-library boxes: steward kits, weatherproof QR stickers, directory pages, and photos of every box you put on the map.

$1,000

The Merch Wave

Everything in Founding Supporter, plus a full print wave — postcards, flyers, bookmarks, bags, shirts, cozies, coasters, mugs, magnets — with a matching care kit sent to you.

$2,500

200 Library Pages

Funds 200 library directory pages for libraries that have none — each one credited "made possible by you," each one a door back to a real library.

Founding Program Sponsor

The flagship. Map credit, newsletter feature, and social recognition as the sponsor who put whole towns on the map — never inside the child experience.

No ads. Ever.

A sponsor's brand never enters the reading experience. Recognition lives on the map, in the newsletter, and in the story — where adults can see it.

The library stays in the loop.

Kids join with a library card. Libraries request and approve content. Sponsors fund the build; libraries run their shelves.

Free means free.

No child, parent, or library ever pays, sees an ad, or gets streak-shamed. The money comes from sponsors — that's the whole model.

Built by a library kid

Jesse Bray grew up homeless and dyslexic; a small library outside Sanford, Maine was his sanctuary. He went on to become Supervising Producer & Technical Director on Apple TV+'s Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, build Mars' Treat Town, teach 60,000+ learners, secure $750K+ in grant funding, and grow products to 150,000+ users — then came home to build the thing that library deserved.

Mr. Bray Labs is a learning-engineering and media-psychology lab: AI product architecture, learning science, and animation, pointed at one mission — every kid one library card away from a hundred books. St. Edward's University — where he's completing his Ed.D. — has already offered him a professorship on completion.

Sponsors fund the build.
Kids and libraries stay free forever.
