HAPPY INTERNATIONAL LITERACY MONTH, DELAWARE!

Literacy is more than reading.
It’s learning your first words.
It’s discovering your first big idea.

It’s filling out your first job application.
It’s understanding your paycheck.

It’s finding the resources you need.
It’s a human right. #LiveUnited

This summer, learning does not have to take a vacation. We stopped by West End Neighborhood House to see the Book Nook program in action and how it helps kids turn summer into a season of reading, discovery, and growth.
