“Everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their life because we all overcometh the world.” — R.J. Palacio, Wonder
We think you deserve a standing ovation for supporting literacy and community in Malden.
Your sponsorship brings the Malden community together through books, events, and conversations. Now in our 16th year, Malden Reads reaches thousands of residents through free programs, distributing books, and community gatherings.
Thank you to our generous sponsors who make this work possible!
Your Impact in 2025
With sponsor support, Malden Reads has been able to do work such as:
1,000s Free books distributed to residents
20+ Free community events hosted
All Ages pre-K to seniors engaged
We partner with the Malden Public Library, Malden Public Schools, and community organizations across the city to build connections through shared stories.
What Our Community Says
Malden Reads is truly the most collaborative project in the city where almost everyone seems to be involved from people, to organizations and schools. Excellent building of community!
There’s something vibrant about Malden’s diverse population. It is the secret to successful outreach.
Malden Reads deserves national recognition for the contributions the program has made to the community, the school system and individuals who have been supported in becoming more productive… I see Malden Reads as community therapy.
