Calling all bookworms. The Madison Reading Project needs your help to spread that #NewBookFeeling to local littles interested in literature.

In the age of audio and e-books, some book lovers want the younger generation to experience the joy of cracking a book’s spine for the first time and smelling that fresh book scent. If this is a movement you can get behind, contribute to this year’s book drive by the end of December.

  • A Room of One’s Own, 2717 Atwood Ave., Madison
  • The Book Deal, 3822 Mineral Point Rd., Madison
  • Kismet Books, 101 N. Main St., Verona
  • Lake City Books, 107 N. Hamilton St., Madison
  • Mystery to Me, 1863 Monroe St., Madison
