About Us

The South Sound Reading Foundation is a non-profit organization serving Thurston and Mason Counties in Washington State.  We educate and remind families about the importance of reading each day and strive to get books into every home so that every child reads or is read with at least 20 minutes a day.  Daily family reading helps children develop a larger vocabulary, a longer attention span, and better listening skills—all vital to their success in school and in life.  Each year we give away thousands of new and gently used books to area children and provide regular family literacy programming at a variety of locations in the South Sound area.
