Our mission:

To create and foster an artistic community of publishers, industry professionals, writers, authors, librarians, and educators who will:

• Inspire and nurture literacy, especially in economically disadvantaged rural areas and communities.
• Promote the work of Pacific Northwest authors.
• Support the preservation of community libraries.

While our main focus occurs in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Northern California, Western Montana, and the islands of Hawaii, our work and efforts have no boundaries.
