"A book is a gift you can open again and again." 📚

We had a fantastic time at Wicked Walk giving out free books to young readers in our community!

Through our Pages Under the Palms initiative, we are on a mission to inspire a lifelong love of reading. By encouraging reading for pleasure, we help support cognitive development and give students a fun, mental health protective shield as regular reading significantly improves overall mental well-being.

When we give a child a book, we aren't just giving them a story. We're unlocking potential and growing bright minds across Lee County, one page at a time!

A huge thank you to the School District of Lee County for their partnership in making this program possible and bringing the joy of reading directly into our students' hands!
