Family Literacy Day
When we support the young mothers taking part in our reading circle programs, we know that we’re reaching two generations at once. A 
mother empowered by her own literacy skills and with an appreciation for books is likely to pass on a love of reading to her child, giving that child the best possible chance for future success. And so we’re happy to be celebrating Family Literacy Day on January 27th, a special event to highlight what goes on in our organization all year long.
