Reducing costs to increase impact

Sleepy Dog Books Foundation was established through the passions of career educators to support the communities we love to call home. We see that books impact the future of our children, the growth of our communities, and the path that our state takes on a national and international scale. Every dollar we raise goes directly to the purchase of books and the facilitation of programs across our region.
