Our Impact
A Note from Jennifer
To watch a child select a book and light up like a spark, to see them holding it close, dive in and explore, experience, learn, and grow, this is what we do! As we move into the cozy season, it fills my heart with joy to know that we are getting over 1500 books, each week, into the hands and hearts of the children, youth, and families, in our region who need them most. Thank you, together we are bringing the joy and promise of books and reading to all South Sound children.
Gratefully!
Jennifer W. Forster, Executive Director
