Somehow, somewhere, I stumbled upon this fantastic organization titled "Burning Through the Pages." It is based in Denver, but I hope that this organization spreads to other cities.
From their website (click here):
"Burning Through Pages Inc. has one goal and one goal only:
To inspire a love of reading in today's youth by recommending, donating, and discussing books.
There are no quizzes, just conversations. If you don't like the book, you can give it back. If you do like the book, there'll be another one waiting for you, free of charge. The important thing is that an adoration of reading grows. It's not what you read that's important to us, it's that you enjoy whatever it is that keeps you burning through the pages. Burning Through Pages relies solely on the donations from generous
people all around Colorado. Your donations are important in order to
help us make a difference in the lives of teens."
They have a book club and gatherings for kids to talk about what they liked in the book. They just added a forum where kids anywhere can discuss books online.
They need people to:
- Read and Recommend New Books
- Schedule Events
- Answer E-mails
- Donations
- Spend Time with Participants
- Update the Webpage
Spread the word about this amazing organization that is encouraging reading among teens. Help them out if you have the opportunity and motivation.
