Today is International Literacy Day. This day is used to raise awareness and concern for literacy problems that exist within our own local communities as well as globally.

We can fight illiteracy in our own community by reading with/to the youth in our community! If you are a Big, talk with your Little about what types of topics they like to read about. Why not introduce them to a new book and read it together?

📚 We are collaborating with a local children's author Marie E. Bubelenyi for our 2020 Big Event: GiveGrove.com/bbbsbigevent/silent/autographed-book-and-virtual-visit-with-author
