Over the past three years, Bringing Books to Life! staff has cultivated relationships with local teachers and students in preschools. In an effort to create a continual relationship with the families of children who participate in the program, BBTL has begun to offer workshops for parents called Loving & Learning. These workshops teach parents to identify and encourage early literacy skills in the home.

Significant contributions from the Cal Turner Family Foundation have made possible the outreach capacity of Bringing Books to Life. 

Other generous contributors include Community Foundation Middle Tennessee, CBRL Group, Dollar General Literacy Foundation, Dorothy Cate and Thomas F. Frist Foundation, Gaylord Entertainment Foundation, HCA Foundation, Literary Award Gala Proceeds, Morgan Family Foundation, Publix Charities, Sandra Schatten Foundation, Tennessee Arts Commission and David Tune.
