Starting in September 2021, the Tucson Tome Gnome began hiding surprise books around Tucson as a random act of kindness for those friends and neighbors in our local community who find them. The books are then meant to be re-hidden and shared with the community when the finder is done reading them – serving as a “pay it forward” act of kindness. The Tome Gnome’s vision is to bolster a culture and community in Tucson that is united in the joy of reading by providing free books to inspire literacy, reading, happiness, and kindness throughout Tucson, Arizona.Read more about the Tucson Tome Gnome here: https://tucsontomegnome.com/
