Madison Reading Project

?? We will see you on Monday! #NewBookFeeling #LongWeekendFeeling

?? After an amazing day celebrating our 10th anniversary last week, we were coincidentally invited to The Salvation Army of Dane County where we started our very first pilot program, to give books away at their annual Thanksgiving meal for the community. Corinda Rainey-Moore and Tammy Rozek, two of our first volunteers, have dedicated 10 years of service and leadership to our organization and it was perfect to have them there on such a special day! #NewBookFeeling #10YearCelebration #LiteracyMatters #MadisonWI

?? Books We Love: Looking for Smoke When local girl Loren includes Mara in a traditional Blackfeet Giveaway to honor Loren's missing sister, Mara thinks she'll finally make some friends on the Blackfeet reservation. Instead, a girl from the Giveaway, Samantha White Tail, is found murdered. _____? ? ??

Here's to ten years of igniting a love of reading and sharing that #newbookfeeling ?? Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey! ?? #MRP10Years #BuildingBookByBook #LiteracyMatters #MadisonWI #FreeBooksForKids

?? Earlier this month, volunteers from Power System Engineering helped us put together 527 Little Reader packs for local 3 and 4-year-olds. We can't wait for these to be distributed to help build their home libraries! ???? #MadisonWI #NewBookFeeling #LiteracyMatters #NonProfitThings

?? ?? November is all about togetherness and counting your blessings. In many households, it also involves a delicious meal shared with the people you love most. ??
