Why We Read exists to bring awareness to the National Reading Year by celebrating reading as a human, lifelong experience.

Our mission is to spotlight real people — across ages, backgrounds, and reading journeys — and share honest stories about why reading matters to them. Not what they read. Not how much they read. Just why.

In a time when reading is often framed as productivity, performance, or aesthetic, we want to make it feel accessible again. We believe reading doesn’t need rules, goals, or validation. Every genre counts. Audiobooks count. Starting late counts. Coming back to reading counts.

Through conversations, short-form interviews, and community storytelling, we aim to create a welcoming space that encourages curiosity, connection, and a renewed relationship with reading, especially for those who may have drifted away from it.

Reading is not a test. It’s a personal practice, a source of comfort, and a way we make sense of the world we live in.

And during the National Reading Year, we want to remind people that reading belongs to everyone.
