A RIVER OF GIVING RUNS THROUGH IT

How do we get through all the noise and division and disinformation? Trust is at an all-time low, and we are deluged with information and ads.

Receiving a printed book as a gift from a trusted source captures our attention in a way nothing else does. And when we read in print, we engage more deeply—we truly do.

How do we reach a tipping point? We work with our partners to find sponsors who will fund the books as gifts to strategic networks and audiences such as community groups, policy makers at all levels, universities, libraries, and more.

Then what? Everyone who receives a book as a gift is invited to pay it forward by giving books to their family and friends, book club, city council, League of Women Voters, Chamber of Commerce, church, synagogue or mosque, etc.

The world can’t wait. The knowledge we need exists. What’s missing is widespread understanding and action. Hourbooks bridges this gap, empowering you to make a difference today.

Currently we are inviting people to sponsor 100 books and become springs in the river of giving. The next stage of sponsorship begins in June with an invitation to buy a minimum of 10 books to share. If you are interested in that opportunity, please sign up below for updates.
