Book Harvest Events

The role of neighborhoods and communities to provide learning opportunities is central to providing every child with the resources, tools, and skills to learn and flourish. To create a communitywide culture of literacy, Book Harvest hosts several events that celebrate the joy of books throughout the year. This includes two signature events in Durham: the Dream Big Book Drive and Community Celebration on MLK Day and the Summer Block Party.
