About BookLooky Literacy Foundation
We believe every reader deserves the information to make the best choice for what they want to read.
Our Mission
BookLooky Literacy Foundation is being organized as a Texas 501(c)(3) (in formation) nonprofit. Our mission is to empower every parent, teacher, librarian, veteran, and reader worldwide with free, AI-powered spoiler-free book ratings, age guidance, and content flags. The public tool on BookLooky.com will always remain 100% free. We are currently seeking fiscal sponsorship and plan to file for official 501(c)(3) (in formation) status in the coming weeks.
