What is The Leaflit?

The Leaflit’s mission is to ignite and cultivate a love for reading among high school students by creating and sharing accessible online and physical resources that inspire exploration, curiosity, and engagement with books across libraries and high schools.

The Leaflit allows students to approach reading in whatever way they choose, whether it be through the form of reading our quarterly reading catalog issue, participating in our structured and collaborative quarterly book club (Under the Willow), or tuning in to our podcast (Ink & Ember), The Leaflit offers a range of entry ways into reading.

We hope we can make students love reading again. The reading revival starts here.
