Programs
At Paper Wings Project, every program begins with one belief:
that stories can carry us, connect us, and remind us we’re not alone.
Whether through books, letters, or shared spaces, our programs are designed to create moments of connection—both for individuals and for communities navigating transition, healing, or new beginnings.
We partner with individual participants and shelters alike, making our offerings accessible wherever they’re needed most.
Journaling Kits
Individual Book Kit Program
Our Library Program creates welcoming literary spaces within shelters, transitional housing sites, and partner organizations. Each library includes both an adult and children’s section with 20–50 books per section, thoughtfully labeled by genre, trope, and spice level, with trigger warnings included to help readers choose what feels right for them. Every library also includes a special letter to the reader to offer encouragement and connection.
