The Reading Circle Experience

Gathering around physical pages

Our events are built around the tactile joy of physical books. We gather in local spaces to read aloud, share stories, and build lasting connections across generations.

Whether you are a parent bringing your child to their first reading circle or a volunteer organizing a regional book drive, you are active in strengthening Indiana's literacy landscape.

Volunteer to Host

Bring stories to life

We are always looking for local hosts, volunteer readers, and book donations to expand our reach across Indiana. Join us in cultivating a culture of lifelong learning.
