Book Harvest
At Written Word Media we believe that reading is a fundamental human right. That’s why we chose to partner with Book Harvest. 61% of America’s low-income children are growing up in homes without any books. Book Harvest’s mission is to dramatically alter that statistic to the positive. Their goal is to provide home libraries to every low-income child in Durham and beyond, and to demonstrate the benefits that accrue when children in poverty grow up with a wealth of books at home.
In its first four years, Book Harvest placed more than 265,000 donated books in the hands and homes of low-income children in the Triangle; an average of more than a thousand books a week. Written Word Media provides ongoing financial and in-kind support to Book Harvest.
