While books of any type will be accepted for donation, Destination Madison’s team hopes to spark the joy of reading by donating children’s books featuring tales of travel and hospitality. The community is encouraged to donate books now through Friday, December 20 at the Destination Madison office.

“Reading is the foundation to lifelong learning, and we are happy to support Madison Reading Project’s mission this holiday season,” said Deb Archer, President and CEO of Destination Madison. “So many people are inspired to explore different cultures and different countries through reading, that our team felt it would be appropriate and special for Destination Madison to donate books that will help take kids around the world without ever leaving Dane County.”
