Welcome to our Mountain Readers Become Leaders program!

Mountain Readers is a literacy initiative designed to celebrate and foster a love of reading in children across West Virginia. Register your organization to read to a group of PreK-3rd grade children during Mountain Readers Week, Oct. 6-10, 2025.

Our book this year is The Wonderfully Wild Ones by West Virginia author, Adeline Boggs and illustrated by Ashley Belote.

**WE ARE CURRENTLY NO LONGER ACCEPTING SIGN-UPS DUE TO ALL BOOKS BEING CLAIMED! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!**

Volunteers can choose to read at libraries, classrooms, daycares, community centers and more! Celebrate and encourage a love of reading in West Virginia youth and prepare them to become leaders of tomorrow.
