What is Read It Forward? Who are the recipients?

We believe the library is the community's hub for critical thinking, creativity, and learning-- and reaching all members of our community is important to us. Readers may choose to donate their book prizes to children and teens in need in our community. Reading It Forward can be done when a participant of any age earns a 600 Point Badge or a 1200 Point Badge, if the participant chooses to do so. It is done automatically when a participant earns an 1800 Point Badge. Books being read forward will be boxed and displayed at each location to provide a visual representation of the ongoing donation.

This year's recipients are listed here. They will receive the donated books in August. Last year we were able to donate 4,400 books!
