Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Harlequin Enterprises, a global publishing powerhouse with a heart for small communities.
Harlequin Enterprises has a rich history rooted in the Canadian prairies, where it was founded over seven decades ago. Throughout its journey to becoming a leading romance book publisher worldwide, Harlequin has remained deeply connected to its origins and the importance of community support.
Understanding the vital role of community hubs in rural areas, such as libraries and community centers, Harlequin champions initiatives that enhance the quality of life in these regions.
In a heartwarming display of giving, Harlequin stepped forward without hesitation to support the Wrentham Library Society following a devastating flood in 2023. The flood had resulted in the loss of a significant portion of the library’s book collection, impacting its ability to fulfill its mission as a vital resource for the community.
Recognizing the importance of the Wrentham Library’s mission to serve all segments of the community, Harlequin’s support ensures that this essential service remains intact. By providing assistance in rebuilding the library’s book collection, Harlequin is not only restoring literary access but also preserving a cherished community asset.
Harlequin’s partnership with the Wrentham Library Society exemplifies the profound impact that can be achieved when major corporations and small non-profits unite with a shared purpose. Through collaborative efforts, they can effect positive change and uplift communities in need.
This remarkable collaboration serves as a testament to the potential of corporate philanthropy to make a tangible difference in small communities across the globe. It highlights the importance of nurturing partnerships that prioritise social responsibility and community well-being.
On behalf of the Business for Better Society and the Wrentham Library Society, we extend our deepest gratitude to Harlequin Publishers for their unwavering support and commitment to making a difference. Their generosity serves as an inspiration to us all, reminding us of the transformative power of compassion and collaboration.
Together, we can build a better society—one partnership at a time.
