The new year means new projects. Literacy for Love has partnered with student-led community organization:
Opportunist Youth of America (OYA). OYA has helped us find locations that are in need of educational resources and will be helping us deliver the first wave of Books for You distribution.
*A updated list of the locations we have reached will be up shortly*
Literacy for Love has created, Book Bags to hand out to English Language Learner programs and Food Banks in the Issaquah area. With the help of Literacy for Love members, we were able to create 200 book bags. In each bag contains 8-10 children, teen, and young adult books and attached to the bag a encouraging Literacy Movement challenge.
The Challenge:
"Join the Literacy for Love Movement
This bag and everything inside is officially yours! The Literacy for Love team would love to see what books were your favorite. Take a photo and use the hashtag: #lit4lovebooksforyou or email us a photo.
*Your book may be featured on our website."
We encourage everyone to accept this challenge... Let's spread the love for literacy!
Our next Books for You distribution will be closer to home where we will be donating to local Everett Public Schools English Language Learner Programs and handing out book bags at Lynwood Food Bank.
