Founded in 2015 by Christopher Norris , Jolabokaflod CIC promotes Jólabókaflóðið, the Icelandic “Christmas book flood” tradition, around the world (everywhere other than its country of origin). The tradition encourages people to buy books as Christmas presents to give to friends and family, and to read the books they receive as gifts during the festive season. Christopher has mentored Anne since early 2021 regarding setting up the social enterprise, and Jolabokaflod CIC is partnering with Refuge In Literacy for its Christmas campaigns.
