Page Ahead

It's only been a week since our luncheon, A Taste for Reading, and we are still buzzing from the energy, joy, and incredible support you brought to the event. Thank you!

As keynote speaker, Chris Robert says: "Book Up Summer is a no-brainer!" And it looks like you, our supporters, overwhelmingly agreed with him. Because of the extraordinary generosity of our attendees, sponsors and partners, we're delighted to share that A Taste for Reading has reached its goal of $210,000!!!!

Thank you so much again to our sponsors: EY, Peoples Bank (WA), Liberty Mutual Insurance, Washington's Lottery, AgWest Farm Credit, and WealthCollab. This event is not possible without their partnership. Thank you for imagining all the possibilities with us.

Local and independent bookstores have long been amazing partners with Page Ahead. This year, we’re excited to announce that as part of Independent Bookstore Day 2026, a few of our favorite indie partners are hosting a book drive in support of Page Ahead kids! Magnolia’s Bookstore, Secret Garden Books, and Queen Anne Book Company, thank you for supporting kids and reading while you celebrate Independent Bookstore Day!
