Support

I love this idea, how can I support it?

This project is limited to what I can personally commit to doing myself. I am not looking to expand the project this year and I am not seeking financial support.

If you can afford to buy a book, don’t let that stop you from participating! I encourage you to shop additional books at your local independent book store.

What are some other places I can donate to?

If you want to do more, direct giving has the most impact.
