Novel Experiences

At the Cobb Foundation NW, we believe that books open gateways to new worlds, expand one’s imagination, encourage curiosity, and inspire deeper thinking. We know that not everyone has access to the library so we’ve simplified access to amazing books by providing free books to qualifying students.

Samantha is our resident bookworm and her 2-story bookcase fueled by her passion for reading makes her the ideal person to run our Novel Experiences book club! Each quarter she selects 12 books based on 4 different reading levels up to age 18. Book selections vary in genre from graphic novels, to fantasy, to historical fiction, and more. Kids can pick one book from the quarterly list to have sent to their home each quarter, which is theirs to keep. Or, during the summer, they can pick out one new book each month from June-August!
