Each year, IRW brings book-based educational programs to over 2,600 children, grades Pre-K-8, living on Maine’s coastal islands and in rural communities in Washington County. Online, we reach children, teachers, librarians & caregivers everywhere.
IRW's programs are designed to stretch imaginations, encourage curiosity, develop creative and reflective thinking skills, and expand perspectives through hands-on learning in natural history, science, literature, writing, and art.
