South Sound Reading Foundation

Thank you West Olympia Rotary for support youth literacy and our new Book Van.

📚✨ Who says summer reading challenges are just for kids? ✨📚

This summer, the South Sound Reading Foundation is challenging the grownups to get in on the fun! We’ve put together a Summer Reading Adventure for adults designed to help you rediscover the joy of reading, explore our local community, and try something new.

🌊 Final Challenge: Learn about our Books by the Bay featured author, Olufunke Grace Bankole, and read her incredible book, The Edge of Water!

The Best Part? The Prize! 🎟️✨
When you complete and turn in your checklist, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win TWO FREE TICKETS to our annual Books by the Bay event this September!

We'll have free books for kids and teens. Come grab a book to inspire some cool chalk art and stick around for the downtown block party.
