2025 Boston Public Library Fund Summer Readathon

Welcome to this year’s Boston Public Library Fund Readathon: Brush Up Your Imagination— Color Your Reading.

Story

Hello everyone! I'm a fiction author in Boston, and I’m joining the Boston Public Library Fund’s Summer Readathon! My personal goal is to read 20 books during the readathon.

The Boston Public Library's resources have been invaluable to me as a reader and a writer. Its books, lectures, programs and research materials give me ideas and, more importantly, inspiration. It's also important in the current political climate to support the vital and nourishing work that libraries do. By sponsoring my readathon, you’ll help the Library continue offering vital literacy programs, learning resources, creative workshops, and community outreach that brings the joy of reading to people of all ages.

I’m challenging myself to read 20 books during the two-month readathon.

If you can, how about donating $5 (the price of a cup of coffee) for every book I finish reading? And I'm grateful for any support, no matter how big or small—it makes all the difference!

I’ll be tracking my progress and sharing updates from June 17 when the readathon kicks off. Every donation helps me reach my reading goal – thank you!! 🩷💜
