Thank you notes to book drive captains decorated by children and families at the 2026 Dream Big Book Drive and Community Celebration.

With just one day left of January, we're feeling extremely grateful for all of the book drives that made our 15th annual Dream Big Book Drive & Community Celebration such a huge success. What an incredible milestone to celebrate together!

After reviewing the numbers from Dream Big (thank you to our data collection volunteers!), we recorded a total of 122 book drives throughout December and January, easily surpassing our goal of 100. THANK YOU! Your dedication and enthusiasm have truly blown us away, and we couldn't be more thrilled with this overwhelming show of support.

The total number of books collected is still growing - throughout the week, our team has been picking up donations from larger book drives across the Triangle Area and beyond. Every single book represents someone's commitment to literacy and community, and we're honored to be part of this journey with you.

Once those are all in today, we'll publish the final number of books collected. So, stay tuned, stay warm, and stay reading! We are so grateful to our Book Harvest family for this incredible community effort.
