Find a Book, Find the Good 

The Junior League of Richmond is hosting a book scavenger hunt on Find the Good Day on Thursday, September 17, 2026.  To promote literacy and the love of reading, books for children, young adults, and adults will be placed throughout the Richmond area for all to find (see map).  The Junior League of Richmond encourages everyone who finds a book to share their find and tag @jlrichmondva on Instagram. 

The Junior League of Richmond’s community focus is “Women Building Better Communities” with five priority areas that reflect some of the community’s greatest needs:

• Literacy: Promoting literacy to share the love of learning at all ages.
• Health & Wellness: Ensuring access to care, wellness, and education for healthier individuals and communities.
• Supporting Families: Providing resources and support that strengthen families and help them thrive.
• Active Kids: Encouraging healthy habits and active lifestyles for children and youth.
• Housing: Supporting safe, stable, and affordable housing to strengthen our community. 

If you would like to support the Junior League of Richmond’s community work, please consider joining the league, donating to the league, or partnering with the league. 

Finding the Good Through Community Impact

International Find the Good Day is a global celebration of service, leadership, and the positive impact created by Junior Leagues around the world.

Every day, Junior League Members work to strengthen their communities through volunteer service, advocacy, fundraising, education, and leadership development. Find the Good Day shines a spotlight on those efforts and encourages everyone to recognize the good happening in their communities and take action to create even more.

This day is an opportunity to celebrate the individuals, organizations, and volunteers who are making a difference while inspiring others to get involved. Whether through volunteering, supporting local nonprofits, mentoring others, advocating for change, or simply lending a helping hand, every action contributes to stronger and more resilient communities.

Find the Good Day reminds us that meaningful change happens when people come together with a shared commitment to improving the lives of others.
