Read with a child. It's the most important 20 minutes of your day!

Look at what a team can do! Thank you HAPO Community Credit Union for assembling Books for Babies bags and adding stickers to books headed into the community. 📖

➡️ What is Books for Babies?
We know that babies’ brains are wired to learn from birth. That’s why we give each new parent and baby a book as they leave the hospital. Even before babies can talk, hearing your voice and turning pages together builds language and strengthens bonding. It’s a foundation for future success.

Thank you HAPO Community Credit Union for helping us give more babies a great start! 📚

What a night ✨

Our goal for Books and Vines was ambitious. You showed up! Together we raised $339,000 for early literacy across Benton and Franklin counties. 📚

30 years ago, this foundation started with one simple belief: every child deserves the chance to become a reader. Friday night, proved that belief is strong stronger than ever.

Thank you to our title sponsor Bechtel Corporation , for 25 years of support. And J. Bookwalter Winery for hosting a beautiful evening, and to every guest, volunteer, and donor who showed up for our kids. This is what a dedicated community looks like.

Here’s to the next 30 years.
