Though we primarily run this drive in February & March, books are always needed. Please drop off any donation items at the United Way of Northern Utah office.
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss
Read Across America is a nationwide reading celebration that is the first week of March every year.
This year, you can celebrate Read Across America with us in three ways:
- Donate books to ensure every child has access to books in their home. Make a bigger impact by hosting a book drive!
- Volunteer to read to children and inspire a love of reading.
- Participate in Literacy Bingo to showcase how reading can be fun.
