📚 Today is International Literacy Day.

A first book read together. A new skill learned. A form understood. A story read from beginning to end.

Some milestones are big. Others are quiet victories. Every one of them matters.

Today, we celebrate the children, parents, and adults who keep showing up to learn, and everyone who helps make that learning possible. 💙💚

Help us continue providing literacy education, books, and resources to learners throughout Collier County.
