We’ll be here all day.

The world outside is moving at a frantic pace, but inside the pages of a great book, time stands still.

 The "Take Your Time" Library Candle is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and linger over a favorite paragraph for as long as you like. Featuring a rich, dark-library aesthetic, this unscented soy wax candle is for the readers who know that the best journeys aren't measured in minutes, but in chapters.

While you’re taking your time, you’re helping someone else make up for lost time. Unlike those mass-produced, "buck-fiddy" candles from Wally's World just down the street, 100% of these proceeds fund Literacy SC’s statewide mission. We are a lean, debt-free nonprofit, meaning your purchase goes straight to the front lines—helping an adult or family in South Carolina gain the reading skills they need to write their own success story.

The "Size Matters" Talk: Let's be real, folks. This candle is small, boutique, and definitely didn't come from a big-box bargain bin. It’s an overpriced 9oz pour, but it sure does pack a punch of purpose. You’re paying for a custom, Literacy SC-designed label that looks killer on a bookshelf, is made from really cool soy wax, and serves as the ultimate gift for your favorite bibliophile or hometown nerd.

The Details:

• Small But Mighty: A boutique 9oz (255g) pour, perfectly charming for nightstands, library nooks, or study desks.

• Clean Burn: Unscented, 100% Soy Wax for a long-lasting, soot-free experience.

• Aesthetic: Features a grand-library-inspired label designed in Columbia, South Carolina.

• Impact: Your purchase provides immediate funding for the supplies that go into our Turning Pages curriculum kits used in our private tutoring program.

Note: This boutique gift item is a mission-support purchase. While the design celebrates the luxury of slow reading, 100% of the proceeds are reinvested into our debt-free infrastructure and Turning Pages curriculum kits.
