FAMILY READING - HW's Prime Time Family Reading program encourages shared connections around books and reading, boosting long-term academic achievement, and lasting relationships with local libraries. In 2019, 1,400 children and parents participated in 23 programs at libraries in all corners of the state (an 18% increase). 100% of children demonstrated increased confidence around reading and 94% had more positive attitudes toward reading, and 90% of families reported increased family reading time.

SPEAKERS BUREAU - Drawing from a vetted pool of leading cultural experts and scholars, our Speakers Bureau provides conversational lectures that are free and open to the public. Topics are as diverse as the communities they serve, with 34 speakers covering history, politics, music, philosophy, and more. In 2019, 14,383 people in 149 communities attended 412 presentations. Participants overwhelmingly indicated that events sparked meaningful conversations and helped them consider new perspectives.

CULTURAL TRADITIONS - Folklife and traditional arts are expressions of peoples' heritage and are critical to cultural communities' health and well-being. In 2019 HW's Heritage Arts Apprenticeship Program (HAAP) served 15 master/apprentice pairs, preserving important cultural traditions and providing mentorship and job skills to emerging practitioners. In addition, targeted survey work involving several hundred professionals and community members strengthened the foundation of, and integrated new voices into, the cultural communities of Pacific and Grays Harbor Counties.
