This summer, Spread the Word Nevada is saddling up with Horses4Heroes for a season full of stories and ranch-side fun! 🐎

As part of their summer camp, we're bringing storytime to the stable with interactive reading sessions. During our most recent visit, our team member Robert gathered with campers to enjoy 'Do Not Open This Book' by Andy Lee, a laugh-out-loud story that kept everyone engaged from beginning to end.

And the fun didn't stop there! After the final page was turned, campers put their knowledge and teamwork to the test with an action-packed and learning-based game that featured plenty of laughs, lots of friendly competition, and more than a few opportunities for horsin' around.

It was a hay-load of fun and a wonderful reminder that a love of reading can happen anywhere, even on a ranch.

📚 Book series help children fall in love with reading because they get to revisit familiar characters and worlds they already enjoy.

🔄 When one book ends, children are naturally excited to discover what happens next. That investment keeps them reading longer and more often, building a habit of reading!

The heart of the city showed up for Southern Nevada's kids, and we are incredibly grateful.

A huge thank you is in order to the City of Las Vegas and everyone at City Hall for governing a month-long book drive in support of the children and families we serve. Beyond their daily work serving our community, they came together to provide opportunities for the next generation of leaders through the power of books. Thank you for showing up for our local kids and reminding us what true community partnership looks like.

A few words from the people who see the impact of our work firsthand. 💙📚

While school may be out for the summer, the need for books never takes a break. Before long, a new group of children will be counting on us to help build the home libraries that inspire a lifelong love of reading.

You can help us bridge the gap and continue creating success stories like these by supporting our 25th Anniversary Virtual Book Drive.

Our goal is to fund 2,500 home libraries by raising $62,500, and every donation helps place books directly into the hands of children who need them most.

Meet Maile Gove, a bilingual performer in Cirque du Soleil's Mystère and a volunteer mentor with Spread the Word Nevada’s Books & Buddies program.
