​

WaterBridge Outreach: Books + Water grew out of PaperTigers.org, an internationally recognized website about books in English for young readers. This website and its blog worked to bridge cultures and open minds, promoting a greater understanding and empathy among young people from different backgrounds, countries, and ethnicities. Over a period of eleven years PaperTigers embraced books with a multicultural focus from around the world, offering a wealth of book-related resources for everyone interested in the world of children's and young adult books.  The website, which closed in 2012, is still available as a library, or resource, at www.papertigers.org.

In 2009 PaperTigers.org added an outreach program, Spirit of PaperTigers (later called WaterBridge Outreach) ,  to its activities with two purposes: to put books in the hands of young readers in the hope that they would inspire and educate lifelong readers, and to fund the development of water projects that would provide the children and communities where books were donated access to clean drinking water and sanitation. WaterBridge Outreach: Books + Water is committed to pursuing and developing this program into the future.
