On this episode of Common Air, Louise Snodgrass speaks with Nina Lundstrom, Executive Director of Maria’s Literary Foundation about the power of books to build connection, curiosity, and community. Born out of Durango’s beloved Maria’s Bookshop, the foundation works to expand access to books and storytelling across the Four Corners through free literary programs, book donations, Golden Bookmarks, and The Reading Room—a welcoming space where young people can read, write, and gather.
The conversation explores why access to books matters and the impact of making literature accessible to everyone. Nina also shares details about the upcoming Read-A-Thon fundraiser! Taking place April 10th thru April 20th, community members will read in the window of Maria’s Bookshop to help support free books and literary programming throughout the region.
