At the age of thirteen, Adele Taylor wanted to make a difference in the world. She decided to take what she loves, reading books, and created a nonprofit organization called Adele's Literacy Library. Her nonprofit organization's mission statement is to instill and empower that reading is not just fundamental but the key ingredient to success and through reading ALL things are possible. Since Adele has founded Adele's Literacy Library in December of 2008, she has successfully given away hundreds of brand new books and books marks to schools, hospitals, libraries and organizations. She hosts Storytelling with Adele, where she reads to children promoting literacy by interacting with the listeners about the book and the importance of reading.

Adele recently partnered with a group of students from the Mirage School of business in which she now has a web store powered by Amazon that allows you to purchase books to donate to her organization, a friend or for yourself. Proceeds from the web store go to Adele's Literacy Library.

Adele will be attending Williamstown High School in the fall of 2009 as a freshman. She is also Miss Heartland's Outstanding Teen 2009, which is the sister group to the Miss America Organization. For more information about Adele making a difference please visit her web site.
