Empower Literacy Through Nature’s Libraries

According to the National Literacy Institute, 20% of adults in the United States cannot read above a 6-grade level. Novels in Nature aims to combat the issue of illiteracy through an unprecedented approach, using nature as a creative platform to advocate for spontaneous book access.
