About Us
Enliven Lit is formed by passionate educators who recognize a need in our society to promote engagement with books and literature. Reading makes us more emotionally intelligent, resilient, and informed about the world around us. In our fast-paced online world full of social media, generative AI, and endless distractions, sometimes we need a little help to slow down and pick up a good book. Doing so develops our critical thinking skills and makes us better world citizens.
