Mission Statement
Established in 1989, the Colorado Center for the Book promotes the value of reading and writing throughout the state by its promotion of literacy and celebration of the written word. Colorado Center for the Book and Colorado Humanities merged in 2004 to combine the organizations’ missions and efforts to help promote literature and literacy-based programs statewide.
With a statewide board of directors, Colorado Humanities has forged hundreds of community partnerships, created more than 90 unique educational initiatives in our 49-year history, and reached an estimated 350,000 people each year.
