Maria’s Literary Foundation's Second Annual Read-a-Thon Fundraiser takes place from April 10th through 20th. Details and sign up are available at mariasbookshop.com.

During the Read-a-Thon, volunteer readers sit and read in the front window of Maria’s Bookshop to raise money for the Literary Foundation’s Reading Room.

• Readers log their time read over the course of the Read-a-Thon, including their window shift.
• Readers are encouraged to secure ‘sponsorships’ to raise money for The Reading Room.
• Donors may sponsor individual readers or donate in support of all readers
• Maria’s Bookshop will match all donations
• Special prizes (a Year of Books!) for our biggest fundraisers and top

Funds from the Maria’s Literary Foundation Read-a-Thon will support:
• The Reading Room (our FREE youth bookshop and reading nook)-- stocking it with great books for kids in Durango and hosting free programming there like writing workshops, book clubs, and more.
