An invitation has found you.
Take your place in Storyteller Society.
Storyteller Society is a circle of readers, believers, and quiet champions whose monthly support helps keep books, learning tools, family resources, and direct reading support within reach of Mid-Columbia children throughout the year.
A shared belief
A society built around one shared belief
Every child deserves the chance to enter the world of words—and to discover the confidence, imagination, and possibility waiting there. Storyteller Society brings together people who believe reading can change the direction of a child’s life and who are ready to sustain that work month after month.
Membership begins with a recurring gift at the level that is right for you. The amount may differ from member to member; the promise is shared: help keep the next book, the next lesson, the next family resource, and the next moment of reading support available when a child needs it.
