Last week, the Everand team popped up in Raleigh, North Carolina to host Café Everand, a community pop-up where book lovers and authors came together to share stories, swap book recs, and celebrate the start of cozy season!   📚 Local authors Tia Levings, Amy R., Travis Mulhauser, Lovell Holder, and Judy Allen Dodson shared their stories and what inspired them.   📗 Folks found corners to relax, read solo, and chat about shared book picks. 💛 Attendees connected with WAKE Up and Read, a local nonprofit dedicated to improving early childhood literacy. 💐 Guests got creative with a build-your-own fall bouquet station, and an interactive wall for trading fall book recs. Moments like these remind us that reading isn’t just something you do— it’s somewhere you belong.

Hack Week at Scribd, Inc. isn’t just for engineers- it’s for everyone. Our 2025 theme, Mind + Machine, posed a simple question: what happens when humans team up with intelligent tools, not as gimmicks or add-ons, but as real partners? The results were dramatic. Nearly two-thirds of our employees—from every hub city, function, and level—came together to imagine, build, and experiment on 57 projects in just five days! Some may become features our readers love, others are reshaping how we work– but all showed how AI can amplify what makes us human: our ingenuity, our creativity, our spark. Congratulations to the winners in our five categories: 🎮 Ways of Working Award – Hima Kiran Alladi and his team shipped a practical, useful internal tool. 🎨 Creativity Award – Harrison Ilonze and his team built a suite of imaginative projects to boost reader joy! ⚙️ Technical Award – This category was a tie, as Benton Wong and Tyler Croy each led teams that showed off impressive technical work with game-changing potential. 🌟 Cross-Functional Award – Noah Tuller and Nadeen Saleh co-led a team displaying the power of collaboration, building customer facing tools with real pizazz. 🏆 Impact Award – Allison R. Littman and her team reached an incredible level of polish in just a week, giving a glimpse into a powerful synergy between two of our brands.

Our Scribd Inc. employees don’t just bring brains and heart to the table– they bring a healthy dose of competitive spirit too. That comes out in full stride during our annual Step Into Summer wellbeing challenge, where employees race (well, walk, bike, dance, paddle, and move) their way to the top of the leaderboard. 👟 This year, 50 participants collectively logged an incredible 10.98 million steps in just 22 days. That’s enough steps to trek from our San Francisco HQ all the way to our coworkers in Amsterdam... if only the Atlantic Ocean had a pedestrian bridge! Here’s to friendly competition, stronger connections, and keeping wellness in motion. Congrats to our top 3 steppers: 🥇 1st place Andre T. 🥈 2nd place Harrison Anderson 🥉 3rd place Angela Hsieh

One way our Employee Resource Groups at Scribd, Inc drive impact is by turning shared values into action. The Caregivers ERG– an employee community for working parents, guardians, and caregivers of all types– recently hosted its 5th annual Backpack Drive at Scribd’s SF office. Volunteers packed 30 backpacks with school supplies for local students from kindergarten through high school, helping families in need gear up for the school year. It’s a small gesture with lasting impact– and a reminder that supporting caregivers means supporting entire communities. Thank you Ling, Adam, Evelyn, Angela, Marissa, Hilla, Noah, Emily, Jaya, and Harrison for packing bags, and to everyone who made a donation!
