Public Library Donations

Public libraries are where many young readers first discover the stories that change their lives, but teen sections are often the last to receive funding. Walpurgis Words for Literacy works with local public libraries to stock their young adult shelves with books that spark curiosity and fuel the imagination — especially in the horror, dark fantasy, and speculative fiction genres that hook reluctant readers.

Our public library donation program includes:

• Collaboration with librarians to identify titles most needed in their teen collections
• Genre-focused selections in horror, dark fantasy, thriller, and speculative fiction
• New releases and backlist favorites to ensure collections stay fresh and relevant
• Branded bookplates acknowledging the donation and connecting readers to our mission
• Community outreach to promote the donated collections and encourage teen readership

Libraries are the great equalizer — free, open, and available to everyone. By strengthening their teen shelves, we make sure every young person has access to stories that challenge, thrill, and inspire them to write their own.
