Booktown Mora is a community literacy program dedicated to promoting enjoyment and education through reading.  Since its inception in 2003, Booktown Mora has been a successful, innovative program.  By providing over 250,000 quality books to our 15 bookshelves and 26 Little Book Boxes, Booktown Mora has demonstrated its commitment to literacy and to building a community of readers.  The bookshelves and Little Book Boxes are placed throughout the community of Mora, MN to provide residents with easy access to no-cost, quality reading materials. 

Our mission is simple—our motive is pure. We believe in the power of books! We also believe we are making a difference and making Mora a better place!

It is very important to continue our community literacy program.  Many of our readers are from low-income families.  Reading is the best way for children to learn, perform better in school, and become successful adults.

Due to  COVID-19, our annual Scholastic Book Sale at the Kanabec County Fair was canceled. The book sale had been our main source of funding for 16 years.  We are starting a GoFundMe fundraiser to purchase books and to build and repair our bookshelves and Little Book Boxes.  Your donation will be greatly appreciated!  The $5,000 in donations will really help Booktown Mora continue to promote literacy in the Mora area!  

Please share our link with your friends and other readers!  Thank you so much from our Booktown Mora volunteers!
