Thank you so much for donating to support our Second Annual Read-a-Thon Fundraiser!

Because of you and our wonderful readers, we are well on our way to reaching our $15,000 goal. Funds raised during the Read-a-Thon directly support our Reading Room program. The Reading Room is a completely free bookshop and reading nook for youth in Durango. It is a third place for kids: a welcoming space to read and write and connect with each other. The books are free, but The Reading Room is about more than just giving books away, it is about fostering an environment that allows kids to feel safe, be creative, and develop a love of reading. Nearly every week, I hear a child say “this is my favorite place.” Because of your participation in the Read-a-Thon, we can keep The Reading Room stocked with great books for young readers and host summer programs like book clubs and writing workshops that build reading and writing skills and foster community connection for Durango’s youth.

Your gift allows us to do the work we love best — putting the right book in the hands of its reader. We believe that everyone deserves access to books that make them feel seen, transport them to new worlds, and inspire them to change their own. You have helped us make that possible, and we are so grateful for your support.

Thank you!
